Wow. Seriously, you should get this published.
This is my last review until I read a few more chapters and have more to add. The start of chapter five, however, reminds me of Prince Wencaslas. The part is protrayed by Jonathan Brandis. It's hard to find, as it aired only a few times on the Family Channel, but I suggest you look up on youtube for "The Good King." I think you'll enjoy his performance. He always gave 110%.
Again, you keep the reader involved. I'm rarely this enthused about continueing on to another chapter.

Oh, how sad! It's rare that I feel for the characters in the stories I read on fictionpress, but yours left me feeling dispondant for the loss of Aleen, even though she was not a very developed character. The Prince will hopefully learn some humility from this.
Your description is not cut and dry. You do something that my mentor has been trying to drill into me. "Show the reader your world. Don't just tell them about it."
Again, I have no negative critisism. I'm expecting an explanation for the riot to be in the coming chapters.

I'm only on chapter two, and already this feels like a polished novel. You really must get this published, for I would like to see the maps you've drawn, the character sketches and backgrounds you've scribbled down, the definitions of native animals and plants, a glossery of terms and history, ect.
I have no negative comments. The story flows.

Very well written. I found nothing wrong gramtically, and your vocabulary is broad enough that I wasn't startled by repeated words or simplistic skills. The story was engaging from the start. The brief background of the High King was enough to give the reader a sense of understanding without blowing the whole plot line, or showing too much of your skirt at once, so to speak.
I commend you on this, and I will enjoy reading the rest of the story.

...that was just brilliant. I loved it!
Edited up a tad more, formatting changed and I could so see this as a top-selling book. ;)
Keep the great work up!

This was amazing. It should be published. I would buy it and read it again if it were published. I've always been fond of stories centred around the balance in magic. Light and dark etc. But you expanded this idea and made it even better, avoiding common cliches in these kind of fantasy stories. Your descriptions were vivid and detailed without being fussy and this story will be in my favourites. Well done.
Peace, luv and jelly babies,
