Reviews For: SWKOTOR: Destiny's Pawn Book 1: Taris

Vespera 2008-01-11 ch 6,	abuseVery nice work. The biggest challenge in a novelization project like this is taking just enough from the original material (in this case KOTOR the game) to be true to original story and plot progression, and balancing that with original material, background, and insights to make this a fanfiction rather than a transcript. I like the original character shadings you've included, showing more of Carth and Kairi's early interactions, and weaving Canderous into the story earlier, beefing up his role through his observations of the Republic pair. The Sith party was a great original scene, adding some flirtatious tension and giving an excellent alternative to the method Kairi used to get Sith uniforms in the game. You have a good enough handle on the characters to plug them seamlessly into original situations, making this an entertaining read.

Prisoner 24601 2004-10-22 ch 1,	abuseYou have a wonderfully descriptive and smooth writing style that is very easy to read. I'm definitely interested enough to continue on to book two. I found Carth getting hit on by the Sith officer really rather funny. I also liked the whole embellishment where Carth gets infected by the rackghoul scratch. A couple of things: Your main character is far too perfect. She's beautiful, kind, super effective, charming, understanding, patient, she's tiny - yet an incredibly good fighter, completely selfless, charismatic, merciful. She really needs some flaws to make her more relatable as a character. Also it would be nice to see something that she was bad at, because right now it seems that she's good at, well, everything. Also, Carth's already jealous of other men's attention to Kairi, but he's only known her for all of one day? I don't know, it seems a bit... abrupt. Don't get me wrong - I'd believe that he'd be attracted to her on a basic level, but jealousy already?
pariscom 2004-09-01 ch 1, anon.	abuseI'm very excited that i found you here.. I enjoyed the story of Kairi in kotorfanfic.com, but i thought that you've decided to stop writing it. I think this chapter is the sequeal to your last stories, isn't it? I like Kairi, Carth, and other crew-mates. and i'm happy that you finally decided to keep writing on. Next chapter would be Leviathan.. and i look forward to the torture scene, and the revelation. Plz, keep going to the end of the story..
K.Bammel 2004-01-24 ch 6,	abusethis...is...GREAT! MORE MORE MORE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Mats Forsen 2004-01-07 ch 6,	abusePretty okay story, but much too similar to the game. You should diverge more, and you probably intend to in later chapters; just reading a transcript of the game isn't the most exciting of stories. The added scenes worked out okay, I'm hoping for more of those in later chapters.
Akasha15 2003-12-29 ch 6,	abuseKicks ff.net's search engine I finally noticed you were posting this, no thanks to a certain search engine. Believe me when I say I nearly shrieked with joy. G
Primad 2003-12-26 ch 6,	abuseI'm so glad to see this coming up! Of note: The scenes with Mission and Kairi watching the sunset on Taris and Carth infected with the Rakghoul disease...and believing that he was abandoned I think really add to the story. If I had any advice, I would have liked to have seen those scenes a bit more fleshed out because I think they give deeper insight into the characters beyond the game itself...but I seem to recall that you mentioned you were writing with a particular audience in mind. That being said, I'm enjoying what you have so far and I'm looking forward to see future updates. -Prima

winger_54 2003-12-24 ch 1, anon.	abuseAwesome fic, i really enjoy how you focus on all the different characters, instead of focusing on certain ones the whole time. It makes it very enjoyable to read because everyone likes different characters it makes it more diverse.
athenaprime 2003-12-22 ch 6,	abuseWell done! Please continue. Great mix of action and interaction--good pacing.

AlmightyIshboo 2003-12-20 ch 6,	abuse^_^ Yay more KOTR stories! They really need to make a whole different place for them to go. Very good Write more soon! (I've also written a KOTR story...it's crazy though :))
_Data_ 2003-12-20 ch 6, anon.	abuseVery nice. You may have used a bit too much dialog from the game but other than that this was a very enjoyable reading experience. Looking forward for the next chapter with great anticipation. Hopefully you will write it soon :)
