So. I have 9 chapters and have finally reached the juicy bit. The posted chapters are mainly just the setup filled with hints and backstory that will all come into play later. I have something like over 600 chapters worth of content planned (if I keep managing to go off on tangents that actually end up quite useful for the later story) so the initial longer setup will be more important down the line. however I would appreciate the approach of a fresh readers initial impressions. after all, they don't know about the long term plans :/. I'm not too worried about the content side so much at this moment in time, however, I would appreciate input on the following:

How the dialogue is written. - My biggest concern at the moment.
Are the initial descriptions too long? - I had one person comment on this saying it might be a turnoff for new readers. So am looking for further input from a fresh perspective on this matter.
is the general writing style ok? - I notice while writing that I sometimes flip between past tense and present tense. Does this stick out? Is it obvious now I have asked about it?
Chapter 9. Can you see plot holes? I spent over an hour checking this, but from the omnipotent writers perspective I fear I may have left some glaring questions for the reader (outside of those I had planned).

If you do take the time to give my current 15k words a critical eye, I will say thanks in advance here.

Sure I'll leave a review. I hope you can do the same. Tell me if the plot has any issues delivery. Any major plot holes I may have missed. Oh and if any of the future plot point hints are obvious for a reader. I got kind of the same issues. I just ask that you aren't too harsh. I'll be the same.

Just read the review, so thanks for the input! I see what you mean about the second sentence. I was trying to take a kind of perspective of a third person narrator to introduce the book, so I have changed that part from "Surrounded by her close family, her partner, and her parents." to "She was surrounded by her partner and parents."
After reading thorough it at least 5 times and still missing the fact the flow was horrible, I cant lie I feel a little stupid, but its why I asked for the input!

I will give you a quick read through now

Just given your latest work a look, and honestly its not bad at all. I personally like descriptions that detail where the character is so I get a better idea of the environment etc, so adding a bit more detail would be great. other than that the emotions you convey through the MC are done well! I will throw you a review when I can sort out my email conformation (which I have already done? Go figure)
