Review of Magic Eyes by LightinMind

H.G. Wells wrote a story entitled The Country of the Blind, to point out that in the country of the blind, far from being the king, the one-eyed man would be persecuted as insane. I had to mention that to admit that I don't agree with your premise to this story.

But that's hardly relevant to my review. The fact is that I find the story to be well written, if a little belief-stretching in a few coincidences. The actual technical aspects are sound and the story flows well and at a good pace. Clearly, you write well and have the imagination to produce interesting and entertaining pieces. It does seem a little odd for an American be talking so coolly of monarchy, given that their natural attitude towards kings is disapproval. Understandably, given their history. But that is easy to pass over since the story has an an air of myth and fairy tale about it.

Since you've mentioned Political as one of your genres, I should mention that it's an area where angels fear to tread. There's nothing worse than the story intended to have innocent intentions but containing obvious political preferences and biases. People hate underhand attempts to indoctrinate them. Not that I'm saying your story does this but to advise against going there. It never works.

So it's a very enjoyable story, slightly marred for me by the debatable nature of its premise. And I'm just an old dinosaur in the end. *Smile*
