Reactions and Reviews

Post, "City" vignette. Since I like Avon, Cally and Vila a whole lot more than Tarrant and Dayna, I should really like this better, given that T and D come out of it looking a bit daft. But it didn't do too much for me I must be going soft.[1]

I like the conceit, but the fic feels far too short. There's no emotional wallop to it - partly because in 2 pages there's not enough time for anyone to really work their emotions and partly because we're in Tarrant's POV and he doesn't care that much. It's a nice idea to break up the Blake- and Avon-only POV, but I think this 'most wanted' concept might have worked better from inside Avon's head, rather than 'in Vila's dialogue'.[2]
