Reactions and Reviews
Blair is now a cop, but it's not working out... Brighid is another author whose writing I admire tremendously. Her writing is poetic and her descriptions are rich with detail, like a medieval manuscript. She shows a wonderful grasp of characterisation and her use of metaphor within her stories is second to none in fandom. Brighid can tell a story about everyday events with such skill and insight that the reader is swept into the reality of her character's lives. Her palette is always full of rich colours like glowing jewels and her writing has an ageless charm to it that never fails to fascinate me. These ares some of my favourite Brighid stories in The Sentinel fandom but I'd recommend anything by this author. This is one of Brighid's more melancholy stories, although I think there's hope at the end. It has a very interesting format, alternating between the past and the present. The language is, as always with Brighid, a joy to read, and I love the way she's incorporated the technical details of firing a gun with the content of her story. The viewpoint alternates between fist person Jim and Blair, and I love the pognancy of this story. It won't be to everybody's taste but I love it.[1]
Stunning story, which Brighid warns is not a happy one, and I agree. The painful events are breathtaking, heartbreaking, and Brighid has blown me out of the water with her choice of metaphor. Yes, I'm a total sucker for a good metaphor. This one rocks.[2]
This is NOT a happy story, I warn you all right from the beginning. But it's so beautiful, in its own, heart-wrenching way...And the metaphor she choose here not only works, it's simply mind-blowing. But I can't say a lot here without spoil it for you, so here, instead of more me blabbing, have a ( little taste )
Give a chance to this fic, really, you'll not regret it.... cry a little bit and later, let Birghid know how much you like it :D [3]
