The Gypsy Butterfly

Comment by (AJ) Eric on 04/20/08
Interesting story, which seldom seemed to go in the direction I was expecting.  When the tarot-reading power was introduced as what amounted to a supernatural gift, I expected there to be some element of clairvoyance in the upcoming story plot.  When the young and colorful new Natasha replaced the older, black-clad one, I anticipated some reaction or even some resistance from people (customers) who'd met that band of gypsies previously.  And when Nadia chose to take on a male role after being widowed, I was certainly surprised that a romance with Natasha would make Nadia abandon that role rather than embrace it.

Solidly written, very "soft" in style -- which is a sensible and effective way to present it given the absence of tension and conflict in the plot.  (I'd have preferred more action, but that of course is the author's decision to make and not mine.)  In any case, a story worth reading.

      The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated.   Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated.  I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory.  Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also.  There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box.   Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs.

      It is not necessary to use your real name here, and, email addresses are optional.  Posting your email address will allow the author to thank you for taking the time to post your comments, and/or discuss critiques and address possible concerns.
