Not That Fairytale: a short story
Michele Amitrani
I went from 'ooo, dark fairytale retelling' to 'well snap this is not for me' by page two.
Writing style is very YA, tight first-person, heavy D&D narrator influence ('I awaken in a dark forest. There is darkness to my right, and lighted shadows to my left. I move left.').
esurient Author's intro indicates it is unpolished fiction, available for free as practice. My readerly opinion finds it more like a first-draft writing exercise and frankly unsuitable for publication. I'd rather pay money for the polished story. (edited) 4y
esurient I know you get what you get with freebies, but I did not find this one readable. I am sorry, book. 4y
