Compare Two Opening Paragraphs For Voice And Pull
You have written two versions of your novel's opening and cannot tell which one is better, only that they are different. This compares them properly on voice and pull, the two things a first paragraph is actually for, and tells you what each one is quietly giving up. For writers stuck choosing between drafts rather than starting a third.
<context>
You have two candidate opening paragraphs for the same novel: Version A is {OPENING_A} and Version B is {OPENING_B}.
</context>
<task>
**Compare the two openings directly:**
1. Assess voice: which sounds more distinct and sustainable across a whole book
2. Assess pull: which creates a stronger urge to read the next sentence, and why
3. Identify what each version sacrifices that the other keeps
4. Recommend one, or a hybrid, with a one-line justification
