    I have to agree with @taylorclogston with the fact that — at least at the beginning — it sounds typical and generic. I was almost turned off just by the first sentence. There are a couple of really good sentences in there, but as a whole it was really vague and typical, which I know does not represent all of the hard work you have been putting into this story!

    My favorites pieces in the synopsis are:

    • But his immortal guide, a wizard of wavering faith
    • Yet what could go wrong with wanting to save the world?
    • Exton plays a game with no mercy for failure. 

    I don’t know if you would consider it, but some of my favorite synopsis have opened with a small, intriguing excerpt from the story. The only example I can think of off the top of my head is The Outsiders, but I know there are plenty examples of this.

    There is so much potential in this piece, I can feel it. Please keep posting updates! I have been reading every one of your emails, and I cannot wait to read this book!
