![]() ![]() It felt a bit stilted and overly formal, but as the story progressed it either got better or I just managed to get more used to it. I have to admit that the writing style threw me off a bit in the beginning. A lot of things were either explained indirectly or they were described in a way that meant I could take them at face value and move on. The world building was really good, considering the number of pages (there’s only a bit over 100 pages, Goodreads tells me there are 136 pages in the ebook). Besides they only have about 10 days until Lucrio has to leave so it wasn’t too unexpected. The relationship is a bit love-at-first-sight-ish but I don’t have a problem with that personally and I think it worked really well with the overall plot. ![]() He and Lucrio were such a great pairing, and they worked so well together.

That one had been shortlisted for the Greenhouse Funny Prize and I really thought it was ‘the one’, so I felt a massive blow when it wasn’t. I often thought about giving up, especially when I couldn’t find an agent for my comedy novel.
