Hello guys,
I have been researching about this theme for quite a while and i had a great idea about how i would start my first chapter but i`m not sure it is right to do it so I came here looking for your opinion.
I intend to start my first chapter with one of my main characters having memories from the past right before he faces "death" on the arena. He remembers how life is cruel and a crucial and bloody moment in his life in the first pages while the arena gates are open and he stands up to face his challenge.
Another option i was thinking of was using a future event from the story on the first chapter, tell the reader something that is going to happen just to give them a little taste about it. For example starting the book with a great epic battle out of nowhere, but on chapter 2 coming back to the present moment. What do you guys think of this?
Please, give me your honest opinions on these 2 ideas that i had for a hook on chapter 1, if it is good or not and why it is or it is not.
