Shadow and Stone [13+] A village witch must find the source of a child's nightmares. |
Greetings and welcome to writing.com! Wow, fantastic work here! I was at the edge of my seat as Atropa dealt with the shadow trying to take away Edgar’s life. The battle was thrilling, and your myriad of rich details encompassed me like the witch’s spells. You pushed your character to her limit, and that’s the best way to make us root for her. I’ve read fantasies where the witch has it “too easy;” even the nemesis seemed wimpy. This was definitely not the case here. You included lots of sensory details and kept us firmly within Atropa’s head the whole time, using all the recommended techniques of good story writing. With a few words, you’ve painted the minor and supporting characters well, with an affection for nature evident. This was an enjoyable read. I would recommend using Size 4 Verdana font to provide a more open and engaging reading experience. If you need help with the in-house mark-up language, you can read "Writing.Com 101" and https://www.writing.com/main/tools/action/writingml for help. I would also recommend a word count at the beginning of the item so we know what we’re getting into. Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
