I just gave my critique partner the kind of response I hope to get someday from someone doing a critical review of my stuff. Her new book is fabulous! I loved it! It really blew me away how she is developing as a writer.
Don't we all yearn for that moment that someone says,"OMG! Your stuff is awesome!" Sure beats questioning yourself every other day if you are in the right line of work.
There were of course minor flaws, but that is why we go through the process of having someone else putting their eyes on our work. Sometimes you go through your WIP so often you start having trouble seeing the mistakes or typos. Overall the work she sent me was pretty clean, and just needs very minor repairs to be ready for a wider beta audience, if not outright release for an agent. The stuff I pointed out for her would likely not even be noticed by a lot of readers, but I wanted to be thorough.
