    An excellent story, told through the intertwined stories of the three main characters, all three revolving around a single convoluted plot of politics and betrayal, colour and magic.

    The characters are well-rounded, the history is detailed enough to feel fleshed and gradually revealed throughout the story in an organic way rather than a simple infodump, and the city where most of the action takes place seems a real place with its own rules and culture rather than a simple generic fantasy setting.
    There are unfortunately some scenes in the ending that feel a bit rushed, but all in all it's pretty good.

    My only annoyance: was there a real need to write BioChroma in camel case? It hurts my eyes, precioussss...

    (Did I mention this novel is free? All the drafts have been released for download on the author's website, including the final version sent to print!)

    I had never heard of this series before, but it had Prunella Scales on it so it was bound to be good. It was: the writing is smart, the story is funny, and the voice acting is superb.

    The story is told through the letters that the two main characters, Vera and Irene, send to each other. In each 'conversation', they do not just update each other on their current situation (the current credit crunch, as the title implies) but also, as only real friends do, teasing, scolding, protesting and throwing snark at each other!

    As the story progresses the lives and family of the two friends get once more tangled up and the situation becomes more and more implausible, finally exploding into the very satisfying conclusion - until the next letter, that is!

  • To be fair, the story is pretty deep and well-written considering the very young age of the author. There are however some very basic grammar mistakes here and there that could have been corrected with a good editing, as well as the more evident bits of naivety. Love the drawings!

Cover of The Raincloud Man
Cover of Sarah Jane Adventures Ghost House 4 CD
  • A very nice story, simple but effective and with a not-so-obvious monster of the week. Small bits of continuity with the TV series and a funny "ethnic person in the past" moment are just the topping on the cake.

Cover of Sarah Jane Adventures Time Capsule 3 CD
  • *** This comment contains spoilers! ***

    Good but I was expecting something different... the only mention of a time capsule is in a desperate attempt of the author to try and reconcile the alien artefact they're looking for with the title of the story.
