Ok quickly. Good characterization, the dialogues are plausible, the story is easy to read...The "plot" is well followed.
The only error in the narration IMO is about the Cordelia/Cordettes ship here. It doesn't make sense.

But something is missing! I don't know what, it's just I was left wanting more...Actions, romance...anything! This story didn't catch my breath, it didn't catch my interest either. It wasn't very long but it was rather long given the lack of stuff. Besides I haven't been convinced by the character of Cooper.

Maybe I'm rather into Hell or Heaven than Purgatory....

75/100

I read this story today. It's a good story. The characterization is pretty much spot on (there's a slight bit of Oz-assassination, but for the most part, Oz is on, too. Just one line really threw that off for me). The dialogue is good. The story flows, it's realiztic for the characters and the situation.

However, it is quite obviously the first in a series, and that makes it a little harder to enjoy. The story just kind of...stopped. Reading this as a standalone piece, it's just not active enough. Stuff happened, but it wasn't as interesting as it could be.

But I did like the story. It was just kinda...there.

80/100.
