Looking for a beta reader.

[classicdrogn]

It' s an interesting start, to be sure, and reminds me I need to catch up the last few chapters of MoL now that it's finished. I do think that you'd be better off covering at least up until one or both Kazinsky siblings agree to (or resign themselves to being press-ganged into) attending before calling it a chapter, though. As it stands, you're likely to get a whole lot of people who look at it, shrug, and carry on, especially if they've never heard of Mother of Learning and think you're just showing off your Gary Stu SI/OC who's a cool, sarcastic loner and has already mastered wandless magic. Writing a story always feels so much longer than reading it, and beginnings so much more significant when you know where they lead rather than being the part of the trip where you start the car and go to the end of the driveway, then pause to look both ways before pulling out. Right now you've got a worm that some will judge tastier than others, but no hook to reel them in.

As for errors, just one nitpick so far: It may be a regional variation for all I know but my brain, my spellchecker, and google all agree that there should be two Ls in "enroll." It might also be good to drop one instance of "extremely" in the first two sentences; I'd suggest losing the first if you do.

ETA: As Star Ranger and Bluemage among others elseforum can unfortunately confirm, It's best not to rely on me as a long term or sole beta reader, try though I may I tend to get distracted and flake out sooner or later.
