(Officially in nail-biting land now.)
I'm listening to this half-hour J.J. Abrams interview right now, so I'll get to it after that. I want to give it my attention.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Kristin, as has been remarked before, I am a fantasy ignoramus. I honestly can't give you any feedback on the trope.
But if you'd like some feedback on the writing itself, fluency setc, my pleasure, ma'am. Send it along; it'll go into the queue right behind the three chapters of Susan's I'm going to try and get to tonight.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Kristin, I'd love to beta if you don't mind another fantasy novice!

Kristin, I'd love to take a look, but it might take me a few days to get to it.

About 1000 words a day.
Um, erika?
There is no planet on which that isn't beautifully productive.
Think about it. If you play the numbers game? That would give you a 90,000 word manuscript in three months.

Thanks P-C. I'm digesting your comments. It may be worth noting that the character in the Prologue is not the protagonist--she actually ends up being a minor character for much of the book. Thank you, though-lots to think about.
Susan et al, resent.

Ah, cool. I can see that.
Something amusing: I saw the "The Archive" in the header, and I thought it meant you had pulled this out your archive, since it was something you'd been working on for a long time. Then it dawned on me that it was the actual title.
