 Ms.MaraJade 4/9/09 . chapter 1Your action was paced rather well, going quickly with the strain of battle and the urgency required within it.
I'm curious, though, as to if this was just the beginning of a larger story. This almost played out like a prologue, but it also felt like a one-shot. I didn't see "completed" on the status, so I'm just wondering.
I think the only critique I might have is that Rex and Jase's relationship seemed rushed. If this story does continue into something more involved, I think it would be great to include some backstories...maybe some of their training episodes or just random excerpts from their past. The reader wants to *feel* their relationship and not just read it. :-) This way when we see Jase's sacrifice, it strikes the emotional chord within us, and we sympathize more for Rex's loss.
Overall, I enjoyed this. Great job!
Take care. |
