I cannot for the life of me discern anything resembling a plot, which makes the in media res of the first chapter a bit odd: The first chapter is clearly a plot-hook for future goings-on, but not enough is said to actually hook us with anything. And the transition halfway through the first chapter, to the real beginning of the story, which then shortly jumps back another couple years further back to the backstory, is laid out in a needlessly confusing manner (or so I felt).
All that said, pacing and presentation issues aside, this seems amicably interesting enough.
