abuseThis story works very well so far. It's good to get introductions out with a lot of explaining, leaving plenty of time for dialogue later on, and only a couple of gaps filled in. i like the way your character reacted in a believable way. Keep up the good writing!

abuseGreat start, I'm very interested in the little goddess. I thought it was really original the way you had Anne drawn to her by her unusual appearance. Also, I want to know what's up with all the clashing energies!

Thanks so much for the review. I always love it when new people read, and I'm really happy to know that Altair is staying interesting!

Beautiful job in making an intro. I love the descriptive phrases that you use. ^.^

abuse(I'm hoping it doesn't lump this text together into one huge paragraph -- my apologies if it does).

I wouldn’t know if your information on wiccans accurate or not, but I like the feel of the story. I like how you picture the earth being full of vibrating energies, and Anne feeling the energies coursing around her – it’s some very evocative description you have, there.

For some reason, the “it was positively unnerving” sentence was one of my favorites – it ends the paragraph nicely. I’m thinking I like it because it relates the description in the paragraph to the character – it shows very distinctly how these vibrating energies are affecting her. (Or maybe I just like the fact that it’s just a nice, short, to the point sentence that provides a perfect complement to the longer, more detailed sentences).

The way you first describe the girl is also very good.

I also liked the “this has got to be a joke” reaction from Anne – it made her a very believable character.You’ve got a typo here: “Murder and lies are what OUT homes are built on.”

I’m also sort of wondering about the semi-random capitalization. Is there a special reason that “Shone,” “Strange,” “Fighting,” “Making Friends” and “Library” are capitalized, and “new,” “unfamiliar,” “arguing” and “public” are not?

Keep up the good work!

(Ah – one more thing. I don’t personally mind it when authors hold chapters hostage to reviews, but hostage chapters ARE generally seen as bad etiquette :-)).

abuseThis story sounds really good so far (Though a tad short). Keep on writting it. I'm sure it'll turn out to be an excellent story. I love the way you begin with it as well. It adds an element of intrigue to it.
