review for House Martell.

*Staro**Starw* The views and opinions on this review are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore, do not reflect necessarily to the group, activity and/or event being affiliated herein. This is only the opinions and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. *StarW**StarO*

The reason I chose this particular story/poem: I chose this particular piece because, having had a son in the military myself, I found the title intriguing.

My opinion of said story/poem: The letter has a very uplifting feel to it. I'm sure any son or daughter receiving such a letter would be thrilled, maybe just a bit disappointed at its length, but very happy with its content.

I found only one minor detail to correct: In the greeting, the comma between "son" and "Nathan" seems to be missing.

I like how you made the letter sound casual, as if you were actually sitting across from your son and just having a lovely conversation.

Conclusion: I really enjoyed your letter, it brought back memories of when my own son was doing his duty in a land far from home. The tone of the letter is uplifting and keeps to a positive note, which is important for those in the military stationed elsewhere.

I found no spelling errors to trip the tongue. The letter has a good mix of anecdotes and kudos to set the pace, keeping the reader interested until the end.

Did you have a son in the military? Your letter sounds/reads like you did. It could be you're just a great storyteller.

Write on!

Thanks much,
Lovina
