ella bortell’s Reviews > Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes > Status Update

the enchantment short story was actually garbage. characters were flat, there were a LOT of incomplete sentences that did not serve a purpose or style, the narrative was all over the place with unnecessary elements. one more short story in this collection, but it is safe to say I will not be reading more of their works after this

finished the “things have gotten worse since we lost spoke” portion of the book, it was interesting and I liked the email/instant messenger thing going on. the writer was a bit redundant at times and wasn’t consistent about the tense being used. obvious this is an amateur writer, but i don’t mind too much. the ending of this portion was kinda boring/lackluster tho. the rest was disturbing and not the ending

this is so strange
