Wulfebane Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Soooo... I struggled really hard to finish that review. Not only does he mispell things like 'terrorfied' and 'wonder' (instead of wander) but he mispelled "Feneris" not once, but twice. To top it off, he calls them the Third Company which is inaccurate since they're the Sixth Legion. I'm honestly dumbfounded that he managed to spell Vlka Fenryka correctly. All in all, not someone I'd care to read literary reviews from. ...oh and the image was amusing. I remember cringing when I read that in the novel too.

Khine Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 i see what you mean ... - bangs head against a brick wall - .. dude should stick to modelling. Why why why would you ruin the plot in a review?! >.< spoils it for people.. -insert five min rant + heavy swearing- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249175-and-the-space-wolf-let-lose-with/#findComment-3017848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djinn24 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 First, Kasper was in the 3rd great company of the Space Wolves. Second, please let me know where you see any spoilers in it, nothing of the plot was spoiled past the first couple chapters. My feelings on this if if it bothers you so much that I misspelled some words please drop either myself or one of the other admins a message and we will be happy to fix them. Coming here and trash talking about it basically behind folks backs does nothing to help anyone. Lastly I would just like to point out that no one on that website makes any money, this is all done by people who volunteer. Any money that comes in we use for general upkeep of the site and to buy prizes to give away (which we have a pretty killer contest coming up soon). I am in no way a professional reviewer or an English major, I will make mistakes as we all do. What I find funny is Dan has read this review and had no issues with it. Anyways regardless of what you think of it, or how much it pained you to read it thanks for at least scanning it, constructive criticism would have been better, so I know where I can improve on doing these. Anyways have a good day. Larry K. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249175-and-the-space-wolf-let-lose-with/#findComment-3019889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 For the record, wasn't intentionally behind your back. Just responding to a link on the forum I frequent. If it was the Third Company Kasper joined, I guess I missed it when I read the book, but then again, I'm not making outwardly public reviews. Truly no offense, but those are the dice you roll when choosing to write a review for the public. Might as well expect bad opinions. At least I have no critic affiliation. Just another loudmouth on the internet. Kudos on it being free.

djinn24 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am not upset by what you said, just pointing out that small things like typos can be corrected by messaging one of us, I fully expected criticism when I write these. I fully value what others have to say as they make me a better reviewer. All we are trying to do is provide a service to the fans of Black Library and the other companies we do reviews for. Each page has the means to post on the review in question and I would love to hear more feedback, good or bad. We also have a Facebook page for the site as well. Anyways, thank you for voicing your concerns, I will try harder each time to do better. Sorry for any typos, I am on my phone now. Larry K.

Khine Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 My apologies Larry. I for one probably could have handled my reaction better, but get quite agitated when i feel that plot further along has been divulged. I acknowledge that my statement was harsh and not very helpful to you. In saying that i would like to offer some actually Constructive criticism of this article. I found the First paragraph to be very well pieced together and built a sense of mystery and curiosity to the book ( even though i had already read it ). It sets the readers excitement for the story up well without having to divulge too much of what is happening. At the end of the book they are finally tied together and you do understand why they were put into the book this piece of information, though not entirely a spoiler could lead to anticipation of when the event that your speaking of takes place. This could break the flow of how a reader would tackle and persuasive the storyline and potentially miss out on other minor points of information. Then we have.. While the planet Prospero does in fact burn, it is only at the very end of the book and is finished in one or two chapters .. granted the title of the book does give away the fact of the event happening within the book. However, what i have a problem with is that you specify where in the book it takes place. Again, this could cause readers to break the flow of the storyline in anticipation. Causing an already agreeably staggeringly slow paced plot to almost completely grind to a halt and may drive the reader away from finishing at all. Your review does have great potential and i can see that your still growing into the whole deal. P.s props for calling people out and handling it so calmly.

djinn24 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 That you for the feed back and I do see your points about the spoiler and I will look into revising the post when I am able and sit down and do it properly. As a painter I look for criticism to improve my work and do the same with doing reviews, the owner of the site is my roommate so my first couple where ripped apart pretty well. But since then have been let lose to learn on my own which has led to some success in creating my own style but you lose the second set of eyes to catch mistakes like misspelled words. As always thank you all for the feedback, positive or negative as it helps me grow in what I do. I may talk to the mods about posting some of our or at least my reviews here, see how many more cartoons I can come up with, I know it irritates Wolf players but after a while it was how I started picturing them.
