Cookie Cutter ~Jo's Review
Title: Cookie Cutter
Author: WisepeachWizard
Summary:
Dean Winchester wakes up in his best friends bed...and if that isn't weird enough, a different world entirely. It's everything he ever hoped for, and more.
Rating: 2/3.2
Opinion:
FYI, this book is completed
The first impression was that the summary itself could be more explained about what we as readers are about to enter. The concept itself can be done very well. If you couldn't tell by the title, is a destiel fanfic but never stated anywhere is an AU (which I think it is?). The cover is pretty but missing author's username/pen name.
We first see Dean waking up in a new place he doesn't remember being in. Amnesia anyone? Or maybe a drunk night is Dean we are talking about after all. Some time forward it's shown he is married to Cas. Here it gets dodgy. The relationship pace is hurried and they act out of character in parts of the chapter. It doesn't help that we could've been slowly introduced into the 'new world' without realizing we are in it.
Then, Dean reads his journal to find out things that again, is an info dump this early in the story. A reader will not care and won't remember it later on which works better when slowly showing/telling it to the reader.
Keep in mind, a Supernatural fanfic reader will expect to solve a mystery like on the tv show that isn't done here. It doesn't sit right with me, Dean knows a monster (can't tell you which one, you will have to read to figure out) that could be straight away. Even Dean has to find clues and work through things.
Then we have the technical parts, it will have a greater impact with more descriptions during dialogue and how they look etc (for example when Cas wakes up in bed. Is he tired? Irritated? Bags under his eyes? pajamas or naked? yeah you get the drill). Some words are repeated and could be changed for a better flow in the story.
The good are that the fanfic doesn't have any big typos and the plot got potential to be truly great.
