Expectations for Birthright?

[Dangerbutton]

So, I have been considering putting my story, Birthright, aside for a while so I can work on a different stories. The details are all posted here:

Anyhow, in response to that post, Silk suggested asking you wonderful and awesome people here at Reading Excuses what your expectations for the story were. Those of you who have read what I've submitted thus far, where did you think it was going? What promises did you see made, that you expect to be kept?
Personally, I'm not sure I can answer those questions myself, so I would like to see what you think.

Thus far I don't have a whole lot of expectations. I basically figured the story would be very character-driven, especially since Boone seems like a likable guy. Sort of the rogue everyman hero. Don't have a whole lot of plot expectations; that is, I don't see some kind of end-of-the-world crisis. I basically expect we'll follow Boone around on various adventures.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a kidnapping?  And a socio-political warmonger on the loose?  And while some could say that they might be cliche, so what?  It would be in the how you do the story, not in the form per se that's important.

Well, I wasn't here for the prologue, but going off of the first couple of chapters I was kind of getting a Pirates in Fantasy land feel with Capt Jack Sparrow/Boone running around causing mischief for a bunch of noble houses with some reference to a kidnapping I assumed would be way important later. All good stuff anyway .

I too am expecting a character driven plot. I think that the machinations of the noble houses along with the kidnapping could give it a bit of familiarity a la WoT and Mistborn while the birth rights and the unique personalities of your characters could give the originality.
I would need to read a bit further for a more developed idea of what to expect, but it's certainly a good start.
