You write in a way that entertains and also have a knack for comedy.
I had no problem visualizing the scenes in the I think desert area where Wildfire found her tribe.
I like the realism in that Wildfire is no Mary Sue and definitely not Rey from Star Wars.
She can and does get defeated, but learns and takes advice and comes back victorious.
Coldstone is a very seemingly cultured Loroi... able to understand and appreciate both alien human culture and the ancient tribalism of the Loroi.
What I also like is that the characters remain distinct but you provide just enough information about them to make me want to know more.
Punch for example, is a fearless warrior who even a Klingon would respect.
I also liked how Loroi powers were on full display, from using sanzai to show imagery to communicate... sometimes to humorous effect, all the way to showing off that Loroi are strong as men fof their weight (Punch killing a predator by punching it to death and suffocating it with her hand down it's throat lol).
The stick-a-hand-down-an-attacking-predator's-throat tactic is an old Masai trick in case of an attack by a solitary lion. It will result in a gag reflex. You'll still get mauled though. But you'll survive. Probably. A way they fend of multiple lions is by using thorned branches. Somehow lions don't like being beaten with branches that have one inch long thorns on them. The pussies.
Oh look, it works on bears as well. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/ ... off-attack
Don't try it on sharks or crocodiles though.
