Review of Solstice Day  Open in new Window.
Review by futrboy Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
First, let's get the bad part out of the way. I first read this on Nov. 6, 2024, the day after Kamala Harris did not become the first female American president and finish out Biden's term.

Second, the good part. I really liked this story. The characters were developed enough and the explanation of the grandfather clock left me feeling nostalgic.

Also, I had no problem understanding Solstice Day as it was explained enough for even an older guy like myself.

Review of Laplace's Mirage  Open in new Window.
Review by futrboy Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
This is my first review in a long time and I am glad I picked this story. It flows well and never gets too grandiose for the average reader. I do like some of the author's word choices, such as "asperity," as it shows a higher knowledge or command of the English language than the cliches we have all come to expect.

The technology is described so accurately, I had no trouble imagining it or believing it could really exist.

The only real fault I found is with Julian Glock. He seems like a normal guy, taken by the technology he is considering. But, I also had an issue with him waiting until he was halfway to town to think about stopping a murder. I did not know enough about his motivations but I wondered if he would be the kind of person to see a potential murder and then not do anything about it.

Then again, that is possibly the conundrum for the story. Do we get involved?

Overall, an above-average story.
