Be My Eyes

Author: @rubi_flower

Review Score: 93/100

Description:
Dean Winchester finally moved away from home and got his own apartment in the city with an extra room for his art studio. Sucks the school doesn't come with a place to park his baby so he has no choice but to take the bus to school everyday. Same old boring routine day after day until one day he gets tackled by a sugar high mutt and meets its handsome and blind owner, Castiel. He didn't expect anything from their strange meet and greet but sometimes the world is clear on what it wishes will happen.

Thoughts:
Beautiful story!! Interesting plot that you don't see everyday. Lovely writing.
Artist Dean and blind Cas truly made a beautiful pair. The authors' understanding of life from a blind person's perspective seems to be quite well done. I'm quite sure they did their very best with that part, considering that they themselves are not blind.

I did very much love how the author had the idea to make Dean an artist and Cas blind. It was quite a different, yet good, change. It's very hard to find a good and original plot like the one in Be My Eyes.

I absolutely loved the ending, it was amazing. You never would've guessed what would happen with Cas (I'm not spoiling, go read it!) and Dean. A very nice way to end such a lovely story.

As enjoyable as this story was there is a problem that sort of takes away from the beauty and it is the fact that it was rushed near the end. The author got lazy (or busy, you really don't know the reason unless you're the writer) and this is always a deal breaker with stories. When an author puts a good amount of effort into most of the story, creating a beautiful work of art, only to rush it near the end, like an essay you put off for too long and ended up finishing at 4 in the morning. The readers can tell when this happens and it doesn't make for a satisfying ending. There's no point.

For one, it would've been better if the problem would've been dragged out a bit longer, long enough to make it more interesting and not long enough that you get tired of it. Second of all, the story would've ended in a much better way if we had two or three chapters before the final chapter that would talk about how things went for a bit after the supposed tragedy in the story.

All in all, Be My Eyes is a great story to read. I suggest that you read it, I'm sure it won't disappoint!
