 persephonevii 2007-04-10 . chapter 1It was a cute story. I liked the moral: 'Assumptions can be dangerous'. I liked how Lani was so stunned to discover her husband was the intelligent sounding fellow from the tent, and not that arrogant brute. It would certainly make any bride's day.
I had two niggles though with it though. This sentences here:
"He then looked down into her eyes and saw the fire there."
Ok, prior to this sentence you demonstrated her strong-will which is great IMO. The next sentence seems a bit redunant in that you are telling me of her strong-will. Though do leave Sel's reaction to her action, he just as much as she is nervous about his prospective spouse being the right one and I think it is important we see his relief and happiness in knowing he got the right lady.
Also the final sentence: 'That same warm tenor...'- cut that out and just leave his speech. Perfect way to end the story. |
