  • Romantic Novels Re: The Secret of Hidden Gardens (One)

    Seems most of the nitpicks have been pretty well-explored, so I'll stick with general impressions. 1) Character - Your character feels very... blah. All we know about her is that ...

  • Romantic Novels Re: I think I love an assassin

    Hey-oh! I was actually really interested in your characters. Alex's schtick "student who the teachers hate" has been done a million times before, but I liked his outlook on life ...

    Yayz all around! Actually I really missed the Review Ratio and actually having to earn our points for something (besides Gifts, which are, in fact, awesome).

  • Science-Fiction Novels Re: Bluelight: Chapter 1

    Hey there! Your world-building was nice, but to be honest, I had a hard time really getting into it. There were no characters for me to cling to or a ...

  • Science-Fiction Novels Re: Partly Lacy [Chapter Two]

    Hey-oh! Okay, really quickly, the formatting in this chapter is wonky. I can see that you have divided it up into paragraphs, but the way YWS put it in resulted ...
