Subject: (SFFR) Stepmother (NZLucy) - A Review

Warning - This Review Contains Spoilers

Stepmother (NZLucy) - A Review

Part One - The Author

The author is one of a crop of new smoking fetish author's who've recently become active.

Part Two - Stepmother

This story, the authors second as far as I know, is like the first told from the first person. The protagonist is named Dani and the story covers what happens when she and her stepmother examine what websites Dani's father has been looking at prior to his holiday.

Part Three - Comments

It's nice to see a smoking fetish story that makes good use of the internet and social media to drive the plot forward. However it ends with an SStoryman-like twist(1) that radically changes the readers perception of the narrator and their motivations. This creates an issue related to narrator reliability as that ending reveals that the narrator has concealed certain facts from the reader and if they have, then everything they have said to the reader is suspect, creating a textbook case of an unreliable narrator. In this reviewers opinion the twist used would have better been used in a story using the third person perspective.

This story handles motivations better than the authors first story. They are clearly laid out at appropriate points in the story.

Like the authors previous story(2), this one gets a soft recommendation. They are improving and I look forward to seeing their future output.


Notes:
1. See the story 'Turkish Delight' in the 3rd volume of the 'SStoryman Anthology' for an example of the kind of twist that SStoryman incorporated into their fiction. The review of the story can be found in the 24th volume of the Consolidated Smoking Fetish Fiction Review series.
2. 'Bad Penny', which can be read in the 138th volume of the Noble Leaf Library. The review of the story can be found in the 28th volume of the Consolidated Smoking Fetish Fiction Review series.
