 Clorinda 2009-02-19 . chapter 4I'm definitely beginning to love your not-so-inanimate-after all objects, you know.
"Striking up a conversation with a mysterious stranger was harder than it sounded in books"— hear, hear!! Her mental conversation was a highlight. Not to mention his faux pas about the tinted windows.
It was well-panned out and extremely well-constructed. You had me thinking he was Jack Frost, because every time he was in the vicinity, a blizzard just sprung up, and dissipated when he disappeared. His note was über-cute, and I love how she HAD started on breakfast before reading it.
Laura's rules about elves and the whole show-down business was really good. Tom was brilliant, especially with his serenade-with-an-ulterior-motive, and the fact that he's permanently broke made me laugh. "Crayon elves," hmm ... anti-climactic ending on the whole from the point the sidhe disappears, but right now I'm blank for anyone useful suggestions or alternatives.
But overall, brilliant. Extremely quirky and tongue-in-cheek again, and again I say Tom Holt would have been proud to have a protégé. (Have you ever read his stuff?) Except the "anyways." It's "anyway." Period. |
 J. A. Murray 2009-02-02 . chapter 1I like the discussion of candlelight. Reading by it -- or, rather, trying to read by it is annoying and difficult. Also, you have real!cold as opposed to city!cold down very well. I mean, you must live in New England or something. ^_~
