Jul 7, 2013: I enjoyed reading the first chapters of Crowdog: Snowbound, a story which begins by dropping you into the middle of a fight scene with the protagonist, police officer Leo Crowdog, battling a thug with a knife. The author has a fine talent for writing action-related scenes, which seem to be much of what the story is made up of so far. The story is relayed in an interesting sparse prose, which almost seems to comment on the rough world we’ve entered into, and the protagonist himself. It works well here [more . . .]
Sep 29, 2014: The first update reads like the script to the opening of a tv show. And that’s not meant in a good way. We get an info dump from the main protagonist talking directly to us, explaining herself and her motivations. Massive info dump, very poor use of first person view, lots of run on and loose grammar, combine with numerous typos to make reading it a slog. EVERY tiny detail of action is outlined, like the author is trying to tie a movie script into dialogue, giving stage direction.
