Ummm....thankyou? Haha.
“Wh-wha-what?” I squeaked out. lol i luv dat is soudns like a chicke bu-u-buck!!!!
Thankyou for the review! I've changed some things around according to what you've pointed out as mistakes or "nit-picks" Thankyou!
I. NITPICKS
This strikes me as odd. She's known this girl, for what? one two hours?, and she can already tell that this is her "usual, everyday" tone?
*Resists urge to make awkward turtle gesture* Okay...show us how Rossa appears unaffected? Is she stacking the spilled crackers? Is she counting the dots on the ceiling?
Time approximations annoy me. Especially second ones. I think it would be better to say "Within seconds".
I swear I might eat your face off! It's street lamp, yo! Street lamp!!!
Something is such a whatever word...kind of like "stuff" change it to something more powerful.
I don't think you need "enthusiastically" the explanation points say a lot.
Smelled would be better.
You never made any gesture that she went to the door. Add one in. And this description reminds me of a kid at school..hahaa...except his not sinister or anything.
Cap the "Wh".
Be careful with describing what a person's eyes look like. It's kind of a fantasy cliche.
II. OVERALL IMPRESSION
This is teh best of the lot as far. I thought this pretty good - and interesting. However, I have to agree with the prior reviewer on how Satu is too trusting. The only other thing I can point out was when we first meet Faolan and Rossa runs up to hug him the way it was written it seemed a more romantic than a sibling relationship. Maybe that's because that's what couples do at my school, but whatever. Just wanted to point that out. Otherwise, good work.
Thankyou for the review! I agree with what you said about the last bit. I'll get to reworking that as soon as possible! Thanks again!
This was good. I didn't notice a lot of errors; if there were any, I was too involved in the story to notice.
I really liked how you kept switching back and forth between what was happening between Rossa and Satu and what Faolan was doing. It gave it an element of suspense. I was intrigued by Faolan, who he was, why he was looking for Rossa, etc. But the fact that you went back to Rossa and Satu made me wonder what he was going to do when he found them. I wasn't sure if he was good or bad, or why he was doing what he was doing. I liked that element of mystery. I'm still wondering why he has animal qualities. I like to have to keep guessing until the end of a book.
I loved this bit. The fact that you were talking about Faolan and how mysterious he was and then suddenly switched back to the cakes, seemingly irrelevant and almost forgotten, but at the same time quite relevant, made me laugh. Even if you for some reason end up changing the whole thing, I say keep that bit at all costs.
The very last bit (the bit about Little Red Riding Hood) is a little confusing. I was reading it and trying to figure out what it meant and all that, and I sort of got lost. Are you trying to make it parallel the characters you've introduced this far? If you are, it's a little confusing. It's a great idea, but I think you might want to rework it a bit. It almost seemed like a random bit of text you just tacked onto the end. With reworking, though, it should work.
Great work!
