[2765] Upward Roots

Hello,

Edit: I would like to add this is the first Chapter in an adult fantasy book I am writing. The excerpts from the Tome will precede each chapter and will all be fairly short.

This story seems like it could have legs. It gets my imagination going and it has been fun for me to write. Editing, slightly less fun...

I don't have specific questions. I am looking for the typical commentary / critiquing we see on this site. Do you think it sucks? Do you think it doesn't suck? On a scale from 1 to 10, is it a total turd or a golden eagle? Stuff like that.

Here is the google doc link below which I made open for comments per the instructions of our mods. I am a reddit nO0b (is that right?), so if I dicked any of this up, please let me know and I am happy to correct.
