Hmm...what to say?

(view spoiler) Hmm...what to say?

(view spoiler)

The premise is interesting and the setting well developed. I do agree that this piece has a lot of potential. I think the main problem was it was a little rushed, at least, to me. Parts of it also seemed suspiciously like ret-conning, but since it WAS published through fictionpress (chapter by chapter, I get it), I'm willing to let that go.

The anachronism, I could pick at, but I'll choose to regard it as creative anachronism and just let it go. I think I was only bothered by it because it advertised as a historical novella, and I'd been expecting it to be more...historical.

~~3/5 because it felt so rushed and that ended up affecting the story. Maybe more like a 3.5/5?~~ 2 stars because the awkward characterization towards the ending ended up bothering me more and more the more I thought about it.

I feel compelled to say this, but the above is purely my opinion. And just because I picked out what bothered me to write about does not mean I didn't like any of it. I tend to play the Devil's advocate more than the gushing fangirl.

Lol I'm the awkward one in the bunch (of people I'm GR friends with/follow) that didn't like this...
Ah, well. C'est la vie. ...more

I can't figure out why, but it lost me a little at the end. I enjoyed it very much up until around chapter 20-21...after that it seemed to lose its heat. That may be all me, however, as I found the story and the characters engaging up to that point. I think that this is definitely worth publishing!
