Smashwords book reviews by Charlotte Underwood
- The Zagzagel Diaries: Forsaken
on Jan. 08, 2011
The Zagzagel Diaries: Forsaken, is a small story, clocking in at a tiny 3237 words according to Smashwords, and is the first in what appears to be a series of shorts by Bryl R. Tyne. Because it is so small it is of course, to most, a quick read and a good one. However, despite that I feel the story would be better served by combining the shorts into a compilation novel, Tyne manages to make one feel for the characters and want to get to know them so much better.
The story deals with a young gay man considering committing suicide because he feels as if there is no one there for him, when his guardian angel has been there all along, albeit without entirely pure intentions.
A very good beginning, but ideally should have been longer so that the picture could have been painted just that little brighter.
- Fell
on Jan. 08, 2011
Fell, by J.T. Marie (nom de plume of J.M. Snyder) is a short sample of her work, and a very good one at that. It is a quick, enchanting read at 2483 words.
It tells the story of two wood nymphs who take a game they play on a mortal too far, and eerily how one of them decides to make up for it, if only for a little while. There isn't much to say that won't give it away but if all her work is like this, then anyone who likes their stories to lean a little to the creepy as well as the curious will love it. I just wish it had been a tad bit longer! This author is certainly worth reading into some more.
