[2167] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Chapter II

Hello everyone. I'm currently in the query trenches, just about a little over a month in, and I'm kinda in the paranoid phase. I've had my betareaders and all but I still want to know what more people think. Aside from your general feedback, I wanted to know if you guys think these first four chapters are a good enough hook for you to continue reading on.

Thank you very much.

Here is my Chapter II. Will post the last one in the coming days:
[2167] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Chapter II

Here are the two chapters before that. You don't need to read the prologue to get this one, just Chapter I:
[1155] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Prologue

[2146] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Chapter I

Here are the ones I've critiqued:
