Very well done sir! This chapter leaves me ready for more! I'm intrigued by what Rena's gift could be and how it got her thrown into the camp. I'm also interested in how she got out of the camp. The world you have built seems to be afraid of all forms of art. I am curious as to what led the characters down that path.

The opening is strong, and the characters are well fleshed out for this passage. You've hooked me! I can't wait until I receive my preorder!
