I am curious to know how the rest of the book works out (especially what conclusions John reaches on her sexuality, and how she tells her parents about). I also think that it was really awesome to show Aureus as a Christian. So, not only will readers get a sense of a transgender teen's story but also how the author views it in relation to religion, I expect.
Overall, interesting excerpt. I thought the descriptions could have been more fleshed out and perhaps the dialogue a little more quickly paced (I found myself wanting to skip straight to the quotations, but had to stop myself and read the in between portions).
Good work!

Having the opportunity to read the first few chapters has been amazing and I’m disappointed that I have to stop for now, but will make sure I obtain a copy to finish the story.
When I started Chapter One I was momentarily confused with the title and front cover, thinking that perhaps it had not been matched well with the story. Then John opened The Box, and I understood.
This is beautifully and sensitively written thus far and, assuming it continues in this manner, there would be potential for this to become a classic for young adults.
Congratulations Magus Tor!
