What an amazing story! You truly are a masterful writer and a very good narrator. I'll definitely jump on season 2 now. Wow!By: T
I love the concept of this story -- it's very different and inspired. The references to the various gods/goddesses were interesting and thought-provoking -- two things I love dearly. I have only slightly brushed the surface of myths and legends in other cultures and was captivated by seeing these characters in action. I would have enjoyed a bit more detail about various things -- scents, sights, appearances. The best I can reference is JK Rowling or Raoul Dahl -- they write in a way that allows you to taste the food, smell each scent, feel each stitch of clothing. While I adored the plot line and the concept, it felt a bit rushed and abrupt at times because of the sparce details. Also, at times, the language felt a bit too casual and conversational for me, which, I understand, is a matter of taste and I'm just not accustomed to reading things written in this fashion. All in all, I loved where this story was going. What a wonderful imagination -- I wish I could stir up and harness thoughts like this!By: Katie
I got so caught up in Heaven that I actually did nothing but listen to it for several hours! That's odd for me, being a hardcore multitasker. Anyway, I thought it was very good. I'm looking forward to hearing Hell.
