Talk:Cleaning The Slate

Cleaning The Slate follows a young Lykos Virstil, an unusual case of the Lykos society where one is born unhonorably. This Lykos, Estross is suddenly drawn into the conflict of the Purge of the Second Paketo, where he meets what is supposedly the Lykos Opposition who plan to help him. Cleaning The Slate is a very detailed and interesting story which follows the lowest class in Lykos society during the time of war, and the inner conflicts one like Estross has because of it.

It shows that the Lykos society isn't too one-sided, and there are interior conflicts—especially among the other Paketos. The revelation at the end was something I wasn't expecting, and only added to the element of how manipulative the Republic actually is.

Cleaning The Slate was a good read, and comes from a talented author indeed.


 * Originality: I found that Cleaning The Slate was pretty original, however a few of the themes in the story have been used in similar context before, the main one being a underdog finding their role to be to overthrow a cruel government. The twist at the end helps with the score, as it wasn't something I fully expected. (8 out of 10)
 * Following Existing Plot: Cleaning The Slate follows the existing plot very well, and lands itself inside the Purge of the Second Paketo. (5 out of 5)
 * Character Development: The character development, while understandable and interesting in Cleaning The Slate, it seemed to progress quickly. This is mostly because of the manipulation of Estross by the Intelligence Officer, and because of the fact Estross hadn't been treated fairly in the past. (4 out of 5)
