[2390] Dark Fantasy Chapter 1

Hey team,

I've been trying to figure out which project I wanted to switch gears to after finishing my last draft and I found this bad boy in one of my folders. Gave it a quick polish for readability's sake but I'm wondering if it's working for what it is/could be. Sorry in advance if there's any tense issues! Seems I couldn't figure out which one I wanted it to be in while I was writing so I tried to smooth it out and stick with present tense for now.

Specific questions are as followed, but feel free to direct critique wherever you feel it deserved.

1. What is your impression of the character's age and expected reader's age? YA or Adult? Does the voice/style give you that impression?
2. Is the modern/conversational style difficult to adjust to in a bread-and-butter fantasy world?
3. Flow of information/pacing. Do you feel like you know enough about the world and what's in it to carry on, do you feel like I gave way more than I needed, or do you feel like you have no idea where the hell we are? Or like, a Frankenstein combination of the three?
4. Is it clear that all magic comes from gods, yes or no?

And my critique: [3028] - [2390] = 638 in the bank!
