Spelling- 25/25- As Bebe said, this category is almost perfect; I think I saw a mistake or two, but I didn’t care to list them. It was meaningless.
Grammar- 10/25- I’m very sorry, but this was a very poor grade of yours. You constantly put several characters talking to one another in the same paragraph, when I saw Dreamweaver list out the proper way to do it. I’m sorry, but this is what I believe what I should give you.
Plot- 40/50- Your plot’s good; Zamorak’s true son named after him (Zamak), and how he must set out to do evil. BUT, that was the same thing that annoyed me about your story; Zamak did senseless killing and evil deeds for no reason. “Let’s go to Seers,” Zamak asked.
“Why?”
“Because I want to.”
That was the general feel for me, and I did not like it one bit. They killed many people for no reason; and his parents he felt no emotions?
Pace- 10/15- The pace was fast, too fast. They travel from city to city (Zamak, Jadar (Whatever his name is), and the Betrayer), and they kill people. Next! Repeat step 1. It was a poor grade also.
Characters- 20/35- This was another poor grade; I felt NO emotions, at all. Except for the occasional senseless anger, what are they feeling? George, Dan, John, they just realized that their friend betrayed them all along. And they immediately go into a battle without any explanation or dialogue?
Sarah; serious problem. The ONLY time I saw her be ‘real’ was when she snapped at her father. Otherwise, you see nothing in her at all. First she follows Saradomin’s Orders. She rebels for a second, then does whatever he wants her to do. You should really, really patch her up. She felt like a stiff stone to me.
The Betrayer- WHY did he help Jadar (Whatever his name is), and Zamak? Why? Jadar freezes him, and he suddenly whispers in Jadar*s ear and kills his friends? I find no sense in that, whatsoever.
