Ardor In August Review: Red_lasbelin
Aug. 19th, 2009 05:31 pmSo I am working my way through the Ardor in August or the ones that interest me. I will not be reading all of them but just ones that speak to me in some manner. Tonight I am reviewing the following:
The Call
by red_lasbelin
Again, pesky authors. I really meant to read a snatch of this last night and go right to bed. I was, in fact, reading it in bed but this story would not cooperate at all with that plan. No sirree. It was a tale that I HAD to keep reading. Not because of melodrama or angst or what not but because it was so freshly crafted and the language was such a pleasure to read, that I really did not want to stop reading. It was a pure delight to read. Red has a way of turning a phrase that I find unique. I read, and go back and read it again like poetry. There is a melody to her writing that I just love.
No spoilers here but if you would like to read someone really coming into the craft of it, read this one.
On the subject of the fic, it takes place during the twilight time for the elves as they are leaving Middle Earth and it does not cross that line into melancholy which I find some works do. Red has some interesting ideas with characters and concepts for this time that come up here and I found them well executed and drawn. Well done.
