- MelantheRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This was a really fun read! Who Killed Captain Alyx is a quick and very tasty whodunnit with a lot of flair. And also a really cool, unique cover? It's so nice to see a cover that isn't AI-made these days. It's clear the author really cares about this piece, from the characters to the cover to the writing, and it makes for a great little story.
If anything, I'd love to see this expanded. Have more character interaction, more clues, longer scenes! That, or I'd love to see more Red mysteries.
There are a few minor grammar mistakes and typos, but it's nothing so egregious that it made me want to stop reading.
This story's greatest strengths lay in its characters. Each one has their own strong, unique voice that plays well with the others. Red, the detective, in particular stands out for her style and Benoit Blanc style charm crossed with Elle Woods femininity. Shay, a hockey player with a tragic past, made a really fun Watson. All the other characters were just the right amount of bloodthirsty and ambitious to be possible suspects, and the actual killer made for a great reveal! The story is short and sweet, planned out well, and it's the characters that really make it shine.
I'd love to read more from this author and this universe! Great work!
