    Aight, so here's the short of it - good start (circa chap. 10) but needs an editor (or a better editor).
    Here's the meat;
    Characters - often the make or break of a good story:
    The MC is an ornery farmer that doesn't like being told what to do, even if it runs against common sense. He has a stubborn pride that might, just might, serve him well - that is, if it doesn't get him throttled by london nobility. Makes you wanna cheer for him, as well as see how badly he digs his own grave.
    He can also pull a fast one on ya, which is always welcome, especially for a veteran reader like me.
    Not much has developed yet so a cursory 4-star.
    Story - It's a "farmer goes to the city" type thing, but with dragons (read wyverns, but it's dragins m8). Good stuff, gets you tickled about what's coming next.
    5 star for hooking me in 10 chaps.
    Style - good pacing, good ups and downs, and keeps you perky since things can take twists and turns rather quick.
    5 star for being engaging and fun to read.
    Grammar - weakspot of this story, and why I made the editor comment up top.
    Often, author will have the MC's POV switch from first person to the second person perspective or 3rd person perspective.
    This is jarring and confusing.
    I would reccomend re-reading the chapters and fixing this, or getting an editor who knows what they're doing. The author mentioned some "armory" dude or whatnot but if the man managed to let that kinda stuff slip, I'll be raising an eyebrow - and I ain't even a native english speaker!
    Highly reccomended.
