I thoroughly enjoyed this first chapter and look forward to reading more.
I kept feeling that Sally was more Dickensian than 70's with her voluminous skirts etc! (Now I think of it I need to go back and double-check which century that bit was...) The grimness of London and the Thames was really vivid.
I was totally immersed, I enjoyed the AI, and the unfortunate fate of the spell caster.
Nice to have the fantastical element mixed with the SF. Great scene-setting!
This looks interesting, for what it's worth, although it's AI I've been inserting MP4 files converted from docx, made with this converter, in the sub stack chapters of my book. It's pretty easy to do. Not great, but adequate for listening, especially if one is also looking at the text. https://www.zamzar.com/convert/docx-to-doc/
Prologue: Two Hundred Years Earlier
Thanks to everyone who has read this opening - I'll see you next week.
Whoa 🤯 what a great start, Simon! Loving this concept.

Very engaging. Great stuff! I'm curious, is the audio part available on Spotify or other podcast apps?
Love the accent.. I want to get you to read my books :)
Finally started reading this and glad I did. Great start Simon! Colour me intruiged.
I've started this from the beginning now, and I love it. Also, I'm wondering if that arm will turn up later. One never knows about that sort of thing.
Glad I found you
Well, I’m hooked ... and apparently have some catching up to do.
Great intro! Looking forward to reading the rest. :)

Once more, from the top. Sally still escapes being smacked by a disembodied arm.
Which has the benefit of all the new Midjourney art, I suppose.
What do they charge for that? I'm sure you're well past your 25 free prompts.
I am in AWE - this is so inspiring - both the quality of your writing and your imagination!
