GAMES OF THRONES FLASH FICTION REVIEW This is a review for "Cure for the Common Coffee" from House Targaryen for "Game of Thrones" The views and opinions on this review are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore, do not reflect necessarily to the group, activity and/or event being affiliated herein. This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. THE STORY John writes coffee reviews for a living. It's not a bad job, but you'll soon discover it takes a lot of character to write coffee reviews. WHAT I LIKED I coffee!! Every drop. Just like John. hehe. I love how John has an old-fashioned, easy-going way about himself. POV NARRATION/TENSE This is told in the 3rd person limited from John's perspective. Past tense is used in the story. Honestly, I love past tense stories. DIALOGUE There is no dialogue used. OPENING PARAGRAPH The opening paragraph put me right in the moment next to my own coffee maker, taking in the rich aroma of my own fufu coffee. CHARACTERS What I liked about John as a character, is he's fun, quirky, and easily relatable, even if he likes to use a typewriter. Heck, if it wasn't for typewriting class in High School, I wouldn't be here. Sometimes, it's best not to fiddle with what works. FLOW & PACING It's perfect. It wasn't too slow, and not too fast either. I was right in the moment with John. MECHANICS I did not notice and spelling/punctuation mistakes. My only suggestion here, and it's minor and a matter of style - maybe increase the font a little to make it easier on the eyes. PARTING THOUGHTS The title fits the story well. Good economy of words communicates well and evokes emotion. Nice, light-hearted comedic beats. I highly recommend a cup of "John" when you sit down to read! Reviewed by StephB for House Targaryen }
