 LordWoon 2008-10-25 . chapter 2I really like this! First of all, I like all of the mythological references and allusions. I think it helps add weight and depth to the theme. I also really like how 1) Malfoy's thoughts are very punchy and dark; almost like he can't maintain a single thought for too long. He has to get his thoughts out quick. I especially like this, almost lyrical passage:
For centuries, the Malfoy name...
I am cursed.
It is ironic.
For the longest time, dragons are known...
I am not brave.
I am not strong.
Then the narrative changes with Hermoine (which I also like; yin and yang and all that), showing her thoughts to be more... regular. Her thoughts are not as angry/self-pitying, but also the narrative is how a narrative is normally written, showing that the character is, well, in a normal state of mind. She has some punching lines, but it highlights how she is empathizing with her patient:
A chance to redeem oneself.
A chance to change.
A chance to live again without guilt... |
 Meaghan3927 2006-08-30 . chapter 1i like this...it's definetely different than what I've read before. but it's VERY well written, your style is marvelous. only criticism is that you sometimes jump tenses, but it wasn't a huge problem, it's just a little incoherent. update soon! |
