[3435] A Raven Plays With Foxes

Fantasy-Cyberpunk

Hi Folks!

These are the three opening chapters of a Fantasy/Cyberpunk novel that I am writing for practice. The tone and feel that I am shooting for is something like Die Hard in a fantasy adventure. The protagonist is supposed to be a competent underdog that overcomes difficulty and adversity, solving challenges through bravery, cleverness, and tenacity.

Is it boring?
Does the language flow?
Do I over-explain or info-dump?
Does it make some sense to someone unfamiliar with the genre?
