Novel: "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window.

Chapter: "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

Characters: The characters are Nathan, Brian, and Harold. The characters are well developed so far. I really like Brian's character, he is funny and entertaining. There are no inconsistencies.

Plot and Pace: Your plot is interesting. The magicians are dueling for Nathan. It is easy to imagine the scene that you have created. The plot moves at a good pace.

Dialogue: The dialogue is real and believable.

Pov: The point of view is 3rd person limited to Nathan. There are no inconsistencies.

My overall opinion: I really enjoyed reading your chapter. Your story is entertaining and I like the characters.

Brian raised a hand towards Harold and— Should there be more here?

Also, you use the word 'whilst' repetitively throughout the chapter and it is a little distracting.
