I honestly don't know why everyone is going on and on about how good it is. No, the plot is good, the idea is good, but -- there's so little to it. No dialogue, no names except for Skion, Catherine, and Pablo. No characters development, and every sentence seems to end up beginning a new paragraph. This isn't a poem - if it is, it should be somewhere in the poem forums, not in Romantic Fiction.

First, you need to put in dialogue, description, and actual characters. I won't nitpick, because you have more pressing problems. Who is Skion? What does he look like? Who's the main character? What does she talk like, and what does she love so much about Skion? This is, quite literally, all telling. No doing, no explaining, no describing. Just saying what happened, like a police report. Make it a story!

And when it's fixed, PM me.

Good luck! Don't give up.

-SELA

I tought it was really good but it was a little jumpy.
there were a few mistakes like

She taught how to laugh, have fun, how to live.

What Goes around comes around!

Sorry it took me so long to review!...i was traveling
Well, this is so much better!...you made really good changes and i really liked it
but i still think you have to put more detail, and i would also like for you to describe the relationship between the two characters

also, the second part was a bit confusing, at first, i didn't know whose point to view was it, i think you should make it more clear.

I liked the second part a lot, remember to put more detail, to tell us more about your characters (I know I've said it before, but you have to remember that).

Good job overall, I really want to know what happens next..keep posting, hope it helps

PM me when you post again

I noticed some of the changes you made and they are better, but I still feel that you can add a lot more detail and description, especially where the characters are concerned. At first we don't know if the narrator in the first part is male or female. We have no idea what she looks like and very minimal insight into her feelings.

Because you use the first person narrator, you have the perfect opportunity to describe what the character thinks and feels. Try to involve her in the story by using her actions to decribe the scene. For instance, when you describe the old walls and creepers covering them try to show how she reacts to them, don't just mention them.

I agree with dianis, the first part is better than the second part. It doesn't flow and feels very staccato. If you join some of the sentences into paragraphs and join some of them together, you can create a more flowing pace. This part also needs much more description and characterization. Again describe how the characters react to their surroundings. Make them reach out and touch things. Describe the smell and feel of the place. Is the mysterious forest foreboding or do they feel at peace here?

Also, I was extremely confused about the characters in the second part. It took me a while to figure out that the point of view changed to that of the nameless character's. You should make this clear to the reader. The name of the first character also changes. Near the beginning of the second part Catherine is talking, but then later the nameless character adresses her as Ashley. Either that or I'm extremely confused. You chould make the it clear whose point of view it is and who is who.

I feel you could add some more action in this part. Make it harder for the characters to get away from the bees. Create a feeling of anxiousness and fear if they really are something to fear. Describe why and explain how the characters got away from them.

I hope this helps If you have any questions, feels free to pm me

It was good, but I think the first part it's better. The hook this time isn't that good, also remember describing a little more your characters, I don't know anything about them, the story was a bit confussing and I think the reaction of the characters when they discovered it was not a dream was not the one it should be, I think they should me more surprised, or maybe they are really plain and calm characters...you should describe them a little more
“So, what do you think where are we?”
It should be
"Where do you think we are?"
I also would like to know more about the setting

Overall, I think it is a good story, just try a little more description and give us more details .but I still like it, keep posting cause I want to know what happens with them!
Keep practicing

I agree with dianis, you have a good hook and you keep the reader wondering, but maybe a little too much. Add some more description and focus on detail. Try to express what your character feels. Like when he suddenly finds himself in the maze, besides bewilderment, is he panicked? Scared? Disbelieving?

had been busy all this week attending all the parties and hanging out with friends besides socializing I was also busy preparing for my exams.

Just then I saw a coin lying on the ground. I picked it up, It was very shiny and of silver color. It had strange symbols carved on it.
It looked just like a normal coin, but yet it was extraordinary

wow!..it was very interesting!!...you have a really good hook...goos story, the only thing i don't like was that everyting happened really fast, and you didn't tell us much about your character or anything, it would have been good more description, but still I liked it, just keep practicing, good jod overall
