Eh, I don't know. The writing style was bland and the story was...well, while there were a few little moments where I was wondering what was going to happen next, the main character spent the entire beginning saying "I won't stay here, I don't owe them anything" and then spends the rest of the book getting into the army, marrying a local, attending the local church, dealing with assassins, righting the wrongs of the city, etc. And they keep mentioning this "maddening" thing and I frankly didn't understand what it was, why he had it, what it meant, etc. I just knew what it did. I dunno.
And, from what I read, your story is coming along nicely. I peeked in a few times and the writing was fine. Grand, even. I didn't read anything that felt forced or tight or awkward. Maybe a word or two out of place but that's what it's all about. Not a big deal. I'm sure I have plenty of typos in mine. The main thing is just to write. Get stuff down. Put it down and often.
