I think that the first chapter, or even paragraph of a book is very important. It must draw readers in but not reveil too much so there is some sort of mystery involved. For fantasy, this is quite hard

Yes, to use a phrase prehaps overly used in this thread - you've hit the nail on the head there. All I can say is there seems to be an awful lot of nails in fantasy writing.
Thats ok, a writer needs to be praised or they will loose heart and the world be deprived of much of its beautiful writings.
