As you know, I sometimes have trouble with this and reading your work reminds me of how active voice is so much better.<br /><br />2) I like how you don't describe Phoebus. I know he has hair long enough to clutch and that there's blood in it.<br /><br />3) By the second line, you have established that a) rage is a part of this race and reinforce that as "bubbling in the veins" and b) there are two alien races (daimon and Aresian). Although I'm not certain why one is capitalized and the other isn't.<br /><br />A great slice of science-fiction here. I will be reading the Gravity books. I just need to finish beta-reading Patrick's book and then I have J.L. Campbell's book to read before I put up her post on the 31st of this month as part of her blog tour. I wish I read as fast as you!Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-58220615862740676262012-08-10T08:30:25.356-04:002012-08-10T08:30:25.356-04:00Very tense!
