Jenni Mills 6/14/08 . chapter 1The beginning was so mystical and interesting. I do feel that you have strived very hard to put meaning into the story, but after a while the story is lost in the symbolism you've used and I found it difficult to follow. The end seems like a totally different story. I think if you weave a little more action into the symbols you'd have quite a story. |
AuraBorealis 11/9/07 . chapter 1aww. keep writing. this was really good |
Twilight Starr 11/8/07 . chapter 1Great story. I loved it. Terrific work. It had such a sad ending though. Poor Rosalía. Twilight Starr |
K. T. Scelor 7/23/07 . chapter 1‘Ello there. 1. “The village people had a saying that if a person gave a snow flower to their lover, they would love the one who gave it to them forever. A young man walked towards the heart of the forest near the village. The sun faded behind the clouds in the sky, turning them orange-colored. It would be a nice afternoon. The young man sat under the shadows of a tree.” Same critique as the last reviewer. It’s a little too jumpy for me. 2. “The young man sighed in resignation. Suddenly, a red drop fell on his right hand, staining it. It slipped onto the notebook, as if it was a tear. A blue thing hit the ground. The young man took the thing in his hands, and realized that it was a bluebird that had been wounded by an arrow." Jumpy part: A blue thing hit the ground. And here is where I stop. The one liners, etc. make it too difficult to read. Jumpiness ain’t good. The Knightess |
J. A. Kossler 7/23/07 . chapter 1Interesting way to start it. I like the frequent one-liner paragraphs, though I feel it was just a tad overdone. The village people had a saying that if a person gave a snow flower to their lover, they would love the one who gave it to them forever. / A young man walked towards the heart of the forest near the village. The sun faded behind the clouds in the sky, turning them orange-colored. It would be a nice afternoon. The young man sat under the shadows of a tree. / The first three were good, but I would suggest to condense the fourth at the end of the third paragraph. The first three stand on their own well, but I don't swallow that last one very well. Also, I noticed that your description was fairly well done in the beginning of the story, but by the middle and end, you mince description. I don't feel this is the right choice. Don't forget to engage your readers in all five senses. Hope that helps. Good luck with your story! -JAK (Please review my story, too! :D) |
