Reviews on Night Star Shining by Dejana Talis


Review by Kihin Ranno 2006-10-04

Not gonna lie, I would have liked to see more of this. *pouts* It's so supremely spiffy! I like Minako/Motoki stories and I like sci-fi and I like AU/AR stories. So many of my favorite things!

Oh well. If it's never continued at least I have this. ^^ I gotta say, I really envy you for your ability to create a universe. That's why I'm scared to write anything original to be honest. I'm great at working with what I've been given and expanding upon it, but not so much at coming up with original stuff. All of the technology is something I envy in particular. You might not think its a big deal, but I'd never think of giving Motoki a robotic eye or any of that other really spiffy stuff you used.

And I love that I don't need a big intro to understand the relationship between Motoki and Minako. It's clear from the beginning and I don't have to take any time to adjust to it. They just have such an ease with each other, and I have always been of the opinion that Motoki is a huge worrywart. So yeah. Really nice job on them.

You know how much I love stories told from an unconventional point of view, so I won't gush too long on the OC used here. But I will say that I think it was good to get a citizen's perspective. It shows us just how vulnerable the city is, whereas if I had heard all of this from Minako or Motoki, I might not be as aware of that. So yeah. Kudos.

In sum, I do wish it were longer, but it does end at a good spot and what you have is fabulous. Nice job. ^^
