![]() ![]() ![]() Eight years later and I still come back to this. Your writing is unmatched in depth and insight. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I think that I was a little late with the review, but I can not thank the author. I can’t say anything about the writing style because I don’t speak English, however, given the translation, I see a beautiful story, it is easy to read in the translation (which is very rare). Regarding the story itself - I think that it is one of the best in this setting. Your efforts are very noticeable when writing it. It is a pity that there is no continuation, in any case, many thanks for your work. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Great story , I'll be looking forward to more! |
![]() ![]() ![]() "Very, very cracky" indeed. But I'd like to applaud you for the direction you seem to be taking this story and this relationship; read, believable. You seem to have a uniquely intuitive grasp of their characters. I especially enjoyed this last conversation. Man, you could cut the tension with a knife. Or a lightsaber. Heh. That being said, I think you could stand to iron out your prose a little bit. I found myself skimming a few of the sentences that I would have much rather been lost in (especially given your admirable vocabulary), simply because they were quite complex and hard to follow. For instance, "Shaak Ti ascends the slope of the cliff through the path illuminated by the twin moons that stand silent watch over the midnight while General Grievous adopts the path of shade and obscurity on the dark side of the valley." While all that scenery is breathtaking, the sentence reads a little long with lots of modifiers. Also, I don't know if I completely bought the scene where the clones discuss a relationship between their General and the...rival...General. Seems a little out of character for them, though I do appreciate the Greek chorus-ness of their observations. Plus, their dialogue made me smile. Anyway, great job so far; definitely looking forward to more! |

![]() ![]() Great chapter, as usual. I really liked the dialogue between the two. Not only was it in-character but it really captured the aspects of their complicated situation. The descriptions of the surroundings were incredible as well. I look forward to the next chapter! |
