GAMES OF THRONES STORY REVIEW This is a review for "NURSERY RHYMES" 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 There are two seemingly unrelated murders, but are they? The obvious isn't so obvious and believe it or not, a parrot holds the clue! WHAT I LIKED I loved the methodical detective work done by Danny. Everything he did was logical and in a precise order. POV NARRATION/TENSE This is told in the third person limited by Danny. Good job with narration. Past tense is used appropriately. DIALOGUE There's a good blend of dialogue and narration. The dialogue accents the narration well. DESCRIPTIONS There's enough to set the scenes. I liked: "Comfortable in his blue jeans, and St. Lawrence Isles Police t-shirt, he leaned back in his chair and silently reviewed his notes again." The author uses a good economy of words to describe our detective. SETTING TIME: modern day PLACE: at a local resort This is something that is clarified for the reader. CHARACTERS Danny Danny is determined and that's what I like about him. MECHANICS I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS The title fits the story well. The opening was a quick description of our detective and then it gets into the crime. It hooks you quick and keeps you reading! Reviewed by StephB for House Targaryen }
