...perhaps not romance? I can see a continuation leading there, but not this far. A warning about the experiences of the female MC would have been good also, even if the title might suggest it. Some editing would have helped too.
That was the negative part, now for the positive. I like the setting, the unhurried telling of a story. Since English isn't my first language I had to look up a few things, but it gives the story added life. If there is to be a continuation I look forward to it, if not the ending is too abrupt.
A strong 4* if this goes on, 3* if it ends here. I hold back my vote for later...
are we supposed to connect with the slave, feel sorrow?
You really can't stop now. After a scene-setting as long and complex, we need to see the main characters build their lives together - or not.
Great opening chapter - but not a story.
Part 2, Slaveowner, will be on-line in about a week. I hope it will be clear why this story is placed in the romance category.
