Yes and thereby hangs a tale for the reader to mull over - an interesting journey unfolds here for the historian, Eliza, with her love of 'dusty tomes and forgotten stories.'

This is a well-written story with deep mystery a view into the faith of a librarian to follow her heart into the unknown to reveal the unknown. You show her quest for knowledge of the unknown. Showing the discovery of knowledge was done well.

I really loved how your story pulled me in right from the start! The mysterious door and the glowing books made me feel like I was stepping into another world with Eliza. I liked how you built the tension with little details. It made everything feel magical. The line, "To know is to awaken; to awaken is to choose" was so powerful and left me wanting to know more about what comes next! Keep up the great work - I'm excited to see where you take this!

This is very interesting. I like magical tone of reading and seeking knowledge from books, at a level that is almost irresistible. This should go over well with the site's members.

This was an interesting and exciting story to read. You used colorful imagery and some suspense to keep the reader involved. I enjoyed reading this and the artwork and ending were thought provoking. Best wishes, Alex

I love this, I do hope you make this chapter 1 of a novel as it deserves to be explored further.
Your descriptive narrative is excellent and I can almost taste the air of that ancient magical room.
Well done
Tim
