Immediately I noticed the shift in perspective compared to other threads. Going from third person all the time to first person all of a sudden makes things noticeable as the newness sets in, but I'm not sure its the best way if you were presenting multiple points of perspective. It certainly gets the job done for presenting your own character's thoughts and feelings constantly which is a nice change of pace. Some people have styles that tend to avoid those areas and leaving room for interpretation.
The fight scenes are interesting, a first person perspective helps bring them to light on how your character feels about it. The story does have me wondering about something that I might just have to come back to read. Is all of this actually happening? These voices that have shown up a couple times seem like they are the edge of insanity, I'm wondering if this is the kind of thing I should expect out of Strazio in any area or if this is an effect of the Pale Moors or something following you around here that you are building up to in the story until you can resolve it.
