Action packed, one battle after another fighting real enemies and wooden demons. Makes it so that I can hardly wait to read what's going to happen next. Thanks for sharing.

Wow it looks like Gangus and his merry men have been outmatched in this new discovery. It sounds like the odyssey of Odysseus pretty well, on his journey back to Ithaca, and the wondrous things on that journey home, beautifully written and a great story Amahra, a great tale anf imaginative writing, well done, blessings Roy

Enjoyed the dialogue, using just the right tagline or power verb to keep the reader in the moment and action. It really got me deeper into the story itself. I'm glad for your notes, since I haven't been consistent. Just love how you use dialogue and make the characters stand out. To me, that's what makes the difference.

This is not good at all!! I am hoping they make it back to the ship as safely as possible. You did a good job writing this. I could feel the anticipation and fear. That's good writing.

I wish I had half your imagination, Amahra. There is so much going on and I long for some rest. lol Your action, imagery and dialogue carry this fantasy along. Well done.

Just joining into this exciting fantasy story. It is full of action. It reminds me of Moses leading the people into the wilderness and the sense of being betrayed by the gods. very well written. example: They appeared smoky-gray with peaks as rows of arrow tips. The action was non-stop and the description of this weird new land was very imaginative and creative.

I wish I had half your imagination. Wow! You really know how to ramp up the action and produce crisis after crisis. Great job.

Here are a few things you might want to take a look at. Use or discard, a lot of it is subjective, and you need to go with your gut.

Morality was down; [This can be a bit brambly. I think you mean "Morale was down. I looked at "morality" for a long time. It just didn't look right. Morality is more embedded in the culture, where morale can be fleeting.]

If Bebo couldn't flip out anymore [I think I'd suggest something other than "flip out" since it is a 20th century slang term. It just doesn't sound right to my ears, at least.]

The silence was deafening [If you can think of another metaphor for "silence" I'd advise using it. "Silence was deafening" is a hackneyed phrase.

I am thoroughly enjoying your tale!

Wow! Extraordinary writing. Exceptional. The narrative is excellent. It is like I was reading a real chapter in a published book, and I have read hundreds and hundreds of them. This is pack full of action. Dangers lurk everywhere. I was engrossed in reading from beginning to end. There's no dull moment in this chapter. I love it very much! I am curious what will happen to the leading character Gangus and his companions. Very well done!

Compelling and engaging narrative. Extremely well crafted. Excellent character and plot development. You captivated the reader and managed to grip the reader's attention throughout the story. I can't imagine how this could have possibly been any better example of a fantasy book chapter! Exemplary work!
