Interesting to go with an omniscient voice. It adds weight to the narration, but it creates a sense of distance. So far, the details don’t feel especially attached to anything, so they’re not really sticking with me.
1: The language is nice, but I’m not getting a very strong image from the descriptions, especially with the old-timey terminology.
2: Nice character detail.
1: Not a bad character introduction, but a little on the abstract side.
2: No small talk for him, skipping straight to the plot.
1: Sets up a nice contrast in their priorities.
2: Again, not a bad character introduction, but it feels a bit limited since the observation isn’t coming from a specific source.
Verdict: I’m interested but not quite drawn in.
