HAI! Welcome to YWS!
I'm very active on the site so if you ever have a question, feel free to PM me;D
Glad to be yer first review
First thing: Make sure you know about the 2:1 ratio!
This is a very cliche way to start off a piece. Very common and used quite a lot. I think that you should consider rewriting it. Open with something that keeps readers attracted and hooked, not setting a scene for a bed time story. You know?
You need a space after the period, doll.
This is your first description of the this beautiful place, right? I think instead of talking about extinct animals like dodo birds, point out something even more exquisite than extinct animals.
This is indeed a run-on sentence. You must chop this baby up at once d;
There should be a coma after 'king' and 'however'. Another coma after 'himself'.
Once again, a coma after 'all'.
This is short and choppy. I think you should combine them to make them flow easier, si?
Never, ever, ever, ever start a sentence with a conjunction! (:
Remove 'person'.
Rewrite the 'even more so than bass' part because at this point it doesn't sound like proper english. Also the last sentence seems to give the story away. It seems to me you're doing a Shakespeare type writing where you explain the whole story first, then go into detail. If not, then remove that so you don't spoil anything! (:
Oi, oi, oi... all right. Here we go:
The commoner wasn't much by day. He always completed his chores exactly as instructed and always made sure nothing was out of place, even a little.
Or something like that. See how I split them up and changed some words to make it flow better? I think you should rewrite this.
Two things.
1_ take out that coma and make it 'and'.
2_ Also, take out the 'but'.
Change the coma to a dash.
I would consider taking this out. You don't have to but I'd suggest it.
Overall
I didn't entirely enjoy it. It seemed rushed and fast. You had a lot of mistakes that made it seem like you didn't go back and read over your work. I suggest that next time you post, you read over and correct mistakes that could easily be seen. Also, instead of switching back and forth between the boy and girl, maybe one post should be about the girl and the next post be about the boy. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me like I said in the beginning of this review. Keep writing!
