Short reviews [hider= The Sky Sailor] I really like this story for its softness and innocent. It's a very wholesome story, great interactions, a well-developed plotline, and a great train of thoughts despite you never wrote what the characters actually think. So, keep up the good work. [/hider] [hider= Once upon a feather] Aside from the grammar errors that had been picked from the above reviews, I think the story does have a strong point that is just being overshadowed by its grammar errors. First of all, I like the first-person perspective you chose for the story. It made the character more sympathizable. Second, I like the fantasy world that you are trying to build. And while it doesn't introduce as much lore as compare to the Sky Sailor, it does have a very interesting premise. Birds with the ability to speak? Humans with mutations? What is the scale of human to bird in this universe? I think what makes a great story is its ability in making the reader to actively asking questions and not being spoon-fed by the author. So prop for that. [/hider] [hider= The first and the Last] Being a sucker for tragic stories, I must say that the story is very great in terms of grammar, imageries, and the humanizing of a bird. Still, to me, the ending of the story doesn't make me very emotional when being compare to how strong the beginning started. Perhaps, you could narrate the ending in a documentary way, ripping away the humanity that the readers felt so familiar from the beginning and reduce it to the cold and remorseless nature that you are so after.
