Syntax was excellent—-I liked the descriptive longer flowing sentences followed by shorter sentences that added emphasis. In the beginning I could feel myself struggling with the direction of the story and the character, but by the middle I’d lost myself in the reading and the emotions of the main character and wanted to know more. Middle of the story is truly what captivated me, and I feel that was my favorite part and where it excelled. Very descriptive, painted images and created buy in.

Hi Claire! Thank you for reading - and for your feedback! I also struggle sometimes at first with new books and stories, just trying to get my bearings. Most of the time I settle in - I'm so happy that the middle got you there! Until next week! 🩵
