For one I wish there had been more pairings than just a Link/Angela story, two Sam/Charles, two Sam/Marshall, and one Charles/Sam/Marshall. This isn’t meant to be cannon so it would’ve been fun to explore more ship that might never had a chance in cannon. Definitely feels like a missed opportunity.
However the worst thing for me was the POV changes between paragraphs with no break. (Hell at one point there was a POV shift mid-paragraph) That…that’s not good writing, it’s confusing and frustrating and pulls me right out of the story. Breaks aren’t just for scene changes people, and should be used liberally as needed. The bio for Noble does say this is her debut, but that she’s written a lot, so I’m curious to know how/why they picked her to write this. I’m assuming the writing before this was fanfic (and as someone who also writes a lot of fanfic I’m not judging), but I would have thought at least one reader would’ve pointed this out to her (certainly it’s happened to me before in my younger days).
