First chapter should of started with Sam and his dad's conversation and the crap before woven in more magically and skillfully. It was an eyesore and difficult to read and I skipped it. Then I just stopped reading. Disappointed.
Very disappointed in the level of writing craft that is being published nowadays. I am constantly searching for good books to read that grip and grapple my mind into a fantasy world that I desperately need to escape to in such times as this. This pandemic of grande proportions that we are living in may be making my selection of good reads more picky, but I am very upset with the degree of calibur that is exemplified in excerpts like this. I can only pray that people put their writing to higher standards than this going forward.
