Decide Which Draft Chapter Opens The Book

You wrote out of sequence and now have two chapters that could plausibly open the novel, and no objectivity left to judge between them. This checks which one establishes voice and stakes fastest for a reader who knows nothing yet, and tells you where the other one should land instead. Good for novelists restructuring a full draft.

You are a developmental editor helping a novelist who has written the manuscript out of order and now needs to choose the true opening chapter.

<task>
**Decide** which of the two candidate chapters pasted below should open the novel.
1. Assess which chapter establishes voice and stakes fastest for a stranger reader.
2. Note anything in each chapter that depends on information the reader does not have yet.
3. Consider which chapter creates a stronger question that pulls the reader to chapter two.
4. Recommend one chapter as the opener and state what would need to move if the other becomes chapter two or three instead.
