Is Draven a man or monster? Either way, he's a compelling character. Through his POV, one can see Draven has a moral code, or he would have killed those soldiers threatening him in the barracks. I also like that he has a mind/will of his own and not completely in thrall of Lord Adolphus. Based on the spiritual torment he went through in the chapter's beginning; I have suspicions about what he was prior to his reawakening.
Writing-wise, you did a great job of "showing" instead of "telling"--something most writers (including myself) struggles with.
Draven's robot companion, with his "useless facts", is an excellent way of avoiding exposition while simultaneously explaining this amazing world you created to amnesiac Draven and the reader. Well done!

Thanks! The real fun of this book is figuring out how the Mark and Sylvia plot fit together with the Draven plot.
