You're welcome.
Yes, I have read many Fantasy novels. When the Kings Own can't protect him, aren't those guards useless? Aren't they supposed to be the Elite soldiers? Now, if your MC evaded the guards, or 'gave up' to get some information, that would make more sense.

Hello Logan,
I think it's an improvement (of course, I would) just make sure you spread that advice out to the rest of the story as you right. The main points to remember are:
1. Avoid repetition in words or ideas.
2. Avoid passive voice (get rid of was or were whenever possible)
3. Stay outside the character's head unless that is the only way to get out the needed information.

You have a solid base to work on there. I'm looking forward to reading more.

hey, logan--
thanks for your comments on my 'high tide' poem!
regarding the karma pts sitch, i believe the pts rewarded for critiques has been increased, as well. an in-depth critique will earn you loads of karma. so, it evens out, really. essentially, the system rewards folks who offer intensive feedback while making publishing our work more of an investment. i'm liking it so far!

Logan! Thanks for both of your great critiques! I really appreciate your comments and will definitely be returning the favor once I return - I'm out of coutnry until the end of the month.

Logan,

I have some thoughts on how to improve the situation you mentioned in the Mentoring Motorcar Circle. Republish your second chapter and I will place them where they go. Let me know when you do so and I will post a critique.
