well, i went ahead and read it all over again.
it was okay. at the end i still wasn't use to all the flashbacks, but i understand their use.
some parts seemed very rushed, and i found myself re-reading parts just to make sure i didn't miss something.
I know you're done with this, and probably don't want to do another re-write, but this has great potential for a very large story with great action. not that this didn't have that, but it could be tons better.
i have no doubt your next installment will be stellar. good writing to you...
