 animeflunky 2009-08-31 . chapter 2I like this story a lot. In particular i really like the way you portray Glinda. Both she and elphaba are great charachters with a lot of potential. Update soon please. |
 Unpred1ctablE 2009-07-24 . chapter 20-0...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE MORE! Dude this is really good. Please? more? |
 SoConfusified 2009-06-23 . chapter 2I must say, I was not expecting this to be updated, though I'm very glad you did. I like your G(a)linda, she's a perfect blend of all those lovely qualities from Maguire's universe, particularly from Son of A Witch, with tiny bits of Musicalverse Glin thrown in to soften her up a bit, though that's just my impression. The Glelphie was a bit unexpected,but welcome. :)
You've woven together Baum's Oz with Maguire's quite well, though I personally prefer Maguire's Oz to the 'traditional' one-- I'm looking forward to seeing where this story will go.
I am very sorry about your grandmother's passing, my deepest sympathies. :( |
 Caro88 2009-06-23 . chapter 2He,
I really like your story! Your style is very good, catching and comfortable to read.
I was surprised about the idea of Glinda's uprising against the Wizard but I am looking forward for her further actions.
I was plainly confused about Fiyero and Dorothy (What about 'mother'?). Please let us know what this is about!
I am also bewildered about the change of time - why do you jump back to OzDust?
But I am sure you're up to something quite clever - your story is very promising.
Please keep writing! |
 LadyRynofSunnydale 2009-05-11 . chapter 1This is a very well written story, and I'm surprised to see you haven't received that many reviews. You have a clear and concise writing style with a good combination of dialogue and description. I also thought you did a good job of starting the story with an event, then working both backwards and forwards in time with that event to explain it a more then get the story going. It grabs the readers attention quickly and doesn't take the reader a while to actually get into the story.
My only complaint at the moment is the confusion over Fiyero and Dorothy. I'm sure that they will be explained in the next couple of chapters, but they detracted a bit from the story because I had to stop and reread part of the first part to see if I had missed anything. I don't know if possibly not using their names but just talking about two unknown people then revealing who they are and why there were there in the next chapter would help that flow better.
The couple of paragraphs too where you gave some of the background with the reason for Glinda's marrying (good idea, btw), the wizard being a sweet man, and the paragraph where she is happy that Elphaba had come to the wedding were a bit awkward, or at least I felt it was. The info was all good and gave us a good background using how Glinda felt not just using a narrator to tell us, but I felt that the order in which the info was gave was a hard to follow. By possibly putting that all in one paragraph and let the info flow more because the jumpiness from an idea to another and back to the original idea is a little distracting.
Oh, and these are just little things that I noticed, but I think Fiyero's last name is spelled Tiggular and Dorothy's is Gale. Sorry, I'm OCD on names.
I hope this review made sense, if not just message me and I can try to clarify, but I also want to clarify that this is an extremely well written story, I just picked some things to critique on in my opinion for some constructive criticism. I definitely respect your end author's not though because I have the same problem: people reviewing with just "I like" or "I hate" and as an author I always want to go, great, ok, can you let me know so I can improve? Your writing style is very good though and refreshing to read. Good luck with publishing your book! |
 Lioness222 2009-05-06 . chapter 1Very well written! I especially like how calm and collected Glinda is in this chapter, and how brilliantly you've gotten her to start the ball rolling in Oz towards a new regime.
I found the beginning the slightest bit confusing, as it jumped around a bit with all of the different scenes- the hospital, the wedding, Elphie barging in, etc. Will Elphie's appearance be explained a bit more later? That's one thing I'd like to see with this story, but that's just lil' ole me.
This whole idea is just brilliant though. I will definitely be watching this develop! |
