I've read up to chapter two, and here are my comments so far.
1. I like the plot. It seems set up for that one thing that's going to go wrong, and lear's going to be trapped in the tunnels.
2. The flow seems a bit awkward, and choppy at times. Paragraphs are broken up in awkward ways, dialogue is inserted strangely into the middle of the paragraphs, and some of it is just a bit wierd-sounding when read.
3. I felt that the first chapter moved a bit fast. They traveled across the island fairly quickly, and I just felt that more could be done with the scene. Also, what I think might be interesting is to have a prologue, which give some insight into the crew's disappearance or simply describe Lear's trip from Port Sarim.
All in all, I like it so far, and look forward to reading more!
