Dear writer as a sincere reader of your work I want to tell you a few things. Please do not assume me to be irksome and mean in any way.
The story is about a boy named Abraham who lives in England during the Georgian era, thriving to find success, happiness and freedom and is quite stuck between the wretchedness of the world and the cruelty of his insensitive father. The idea of this story is quite intoxicating, it can inspire many people to build themselves up and not get lured up in the coldness of abuse and trauma. It is actually very beautiful to see Abraham's journey and the mix of the past added to his life. I like it.
But then again, I see that to actually introduce a lot of characters you actually stole a lot of Abraham's limelight. I see more context and traits given to Giles, Clement and the others while Abraham continues to be the shy brother until much later of the story. Instead of starting the story from Abraham being mere weeks old, you could have started the thing from making Abraham be something like Eleven and the part where he is just weeks old could have been the prologue. I am saying this because I see his brother Clement has more to give to the readers with his complicated love life, Giles has his own context as his duty and determination to save his loved ones, Elizabeth and Felice also have so much to offer, I am sure Abraham has too. But I can't see that at all. There is so much telling than showing in the story. I understand if my opinion does not matter to you, seems irrelevant or simply does not support the plot. Don't think of me as a hater, I have said it before and I'll say it now, I love your plots and diversity so as a reader I thought I should give my opinion.
Kindest regards
