A "Game of Thrones review from
The Free Folk image for G.o.T.

Hello Beholden

First impression:

Featured proudly in your portfolio highlights, this poem was in dire need of an award. The photo that you used fits the title perfectly.

What works:

The combination of the image with the words of the poem work well together. I wonder though if the palm tree really bent under the weight of the teardrop shaped chair of if it was even made possible by a natural slant of the palm tree to attach the seat. Normal palm trees go straight up into the sky and it's impossible to hang anything from them. At least not from the stem in the way it is done here.

The word "Stark" has a triple meaning for me right now. For one, it's the English word for something that has a strong opposite. Like black to white or peace to war. In German, stark means strong. And Game of Thrones, there is the House Stark. It's interesting how language has so many meanings in only five letters.

Final thoughts:

As a fellow player in Game of Thrones, I have to say that I noticed your work on the game and wanted to make sure you feel seen and appreciated. Even as a player in a different team, I like to see all of that activity and hope that you enjoy the ride.
