Really great story so far - I love your writing style and the use of imagery! When I got to the end I was so absorbed in the story that I literally said, 'What? No! Come on...', out loud. lol
I'm really liking these characters a lot too - Ajmal, Zanetta and the princess are all quite interesting so far, and I can't wait to read the next part when it comes out. <3
But yeah, you've done a fantastic job so far! :D
