I’d love to! I don’t have a lot of time until about the end of June, but I’d love to do that sometime. 🙂

[With a happy step, Wren turned onto the main street, holding her dress back to avoid the grimy wall. It was rather filthy, but overall, the village was quite lovely.]
Mm, not quite. I wouldn’t put anything there, since it’s obviously coming from her perspective. But things like “Wren held back her dress to avoid the grimy wall. No use getting it…[Read more]

Great questions! Personally, I like using italicized thoughts, ’cause it helps draw a person into the head and italics make it easier for me to discern between characters – especially when there are multiple POVs. If I italicize something, I tend not to use “he thought” or “she wondered” unless it flows well and clarifies who’s talking. If I’m not…[Read more]

Alfonso and his chancery paid the mercenary captains, and the captains paid the mercenaries, but Drastan often got the feeling that their captains took even more than their greater share already demanded.
I think it’s good. 🙂
Darkness cloaked the world in shadows by the time Drastan had entered the streets of Toledo.
Maybe The world was cloaked…[Read more]

Wonderful! I can’t promise I’ll be available (looks like I just got a job and I have another one starting up in late May), but I will try. 🙂
Ahhh, ok! I wondered about the tent/pavillion thing. I think my confusion over the setting was just because I didn’t read the scene where they first saw it. 🙂
I do usually like harsh…[Read more]

Ahhh, that makes sense! Fog tends to disperse with light, though. You might want to add a bit of something to make it clear that the fog is what causes low visibility, not something else. 😉

Not sure if I like the king, but I trust him. One bit of critique would be that I was confused as to the setting – you said they were in a room, but you also mention grass/dirt/etc. multiple times. Since rooms tend to have floors, I was confuzzled. Were they in a tent? Does this king prefer grass to wood or stone?…[Read more]

WOW. Just… WOW. You have this sense of humor running throughout, and each of the characters are so different that they’re easy to tell apart, though each are relatable too. Your prose is exquisite, and your worldbuilding is incredible!! Which means I need a picture of the tannik’esh. Like now. XD
One word of critique:

Um… mind if I join in the conversation? Sorry if I’m like way too late for that…

Nope, not at all! Anyone is welcome…[Read more]
