Wow. No reader reviews yet? I am proud to be the first.

Children of the First is not exactly a slow read. The update rate recently is a little bit slow, which means that I burn through them a bit rapidly, but I think that’s a testament to the fact that it’s something that I’m happy to get through.

First person and emotional. This story is an introduction to an extremely strange and new type of college life where a form of classism/racism is rampant especially when combined with the proliferation of magic in the world. At first it has hints and suggestions of a coming-of-age story the way that a lot of college fiction works out, but slowly it builds on a foundation of making friends and influencing people as the characters mount.

I especially liked the amusing student bias written into the story from the viewpoint character about classes and professors and the college bureaucracy that simply exacerbates the whole experience. Taking classes myself, I can empathize.

Perhaps the stories read so quickly because it’s a social drama that makes me feel like I’m with friends. It’s a little bit of a fantasy voyeurism storytelling in the beginning, but I guess that’s just the thing I needed at the time to keep reading.

There are currently only sixteen chapters and it’s a good point to jump into the story and carry along for those who haven’t come yet.
