Talk:Soul Sand/@comment-25021327-20150809010749

I thought this was a fairly nice read. It's paced briskly, and goes by fast. I thought that the descriptions were pretty good, but I can;t speak for someone who hasn;t played Minecraft in The Nether. I, myself haven;t played much since before Soul Sand was really a thing, so I'm not sure how much of what is described here is touched upon in the game.

I like the concept of someone getting sentenced to living in The Nether as punishment for a crime, again, I'm not sure if that practice is touched upon in any of the Minecraft lore. The ways things were described in The Nether worked pretty well for me, and kept the pacing up for the bulk of the story.

The ending felt a little abrupt to me, and might have worked better if it were slowed down and fleshed out a bit more. It just seems a little silly that we're experiencing the story and soething interesting is happening, then it's like "Feel our pain!" the end. But I can see how it fits with the tone of the story too.

Only a couple typos here (Some homophones, etc) and I was a little confused at one point. I thought that Steve's head was caught in the block of sand, so I'm not sure how he would know that there were faces on it, but maybe I missed something and he is still in a position to view the block at that point.

Anyway, not a bad little Minecraft pasta (Bonus points for not mentioning Herobrine :D) I'm glad I gave it a read :)
