I've started reading it, slowly but surely. I finished the first chapter.
You create atmosphere very well, although sometimes the descriptions come off as rather wordy. I'm intrigued by the story line. I'm not sure how I feel about the characterizations, but I will wait and read the story in its entirety to see how you let the characters develop.
6th paragraph in (after the preface) there's a line that's a little awkward. "So much of himself Janus could see in the boy." It might sound better to write "Janus could see so much of himself in the boy". Just a suggestion. I'm an English literature major and a bit of a grammar nut, so if I'm not attempting to analyze something or correct some grammar I feel I'm not doing my job. X)
