   Hi Writer13! I'm just going to review the second one, as the first one is a review that you gave me! And I can't exactly review a review that you gave me, cause then I'd be sounding rude!
   
   So here goes!
   
   So I read through it, and I could see that you spent a long time on it, and made it a good length at the same time. Good work there!
   I also love how you branch out, and do grammar nitpicks, along with inconsistency with rhythm, and parts that don't make sense. Makes your review look thought out and well-rounded.
   
   My only complaint really, would be there is too little praise. Although you managed to sound awesomely nice throughout the entire review, I still felt like you didn't point out enough good stuff. For instance, this part:
   
   

   But why did you word it that way? I can understand you're discussing the fact that storm clouds are gone after a storm...but the way you word it, you make the clouds afraid of the rainbow.

   
   
   This was place in the praise section of your review, but it isn't praise! When you do critiques make sure you keep it in one section of your review, and the praise in a different section. But always make sure you never intermix critiques with the praise, when you had explicitly told them that this section was for praise.
   And usually you don't end with a critique. Always try and end with something positive about the work.
   
   So to sum up what I'm saying... Try and keep your review content well organized, with everything in the right spot at all times. Praise goes in one section, critiques in the other, and you wrap it all up with something positive and cordial in the end.
   
   As a whole, this review was very, very well done. Its amazing to see how far you have come since you joined YWS, and how much detail you have in your review. How much helpful detail, where nothing is irrelevant to their story, and everything moves forward.
   Great Job!

   Oh right! I should've placed it there.
