Hi Hrafnar,

This is a fantastic prologue. The chapter opens with vivid description. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the prologue. They will read on this is a wonderful opening hook. The detail puts the reader all the way into the prologue. The high emotion here makes the reader anxious to get into the story. There is no dialogue but it is not needed here. The prologue is well paced. It moves fast enough to keep all the reader's attention, yet it moves slowly enough to allow the reader to easily follow what is going on in the prologue. The characterization is fully developed and believable. The story concentrates on the speaker, and he comes across as a real person. Great job.
