Justine’s Reviews > Maresi > Status Update

Very weird and different from the usual YA fantasy so far. One issue though: there's a lot of weird tense shifts happening. The story is told in the past tense, but Maresi jarringly shifts to present tense when discussing her surroundings or particular people within the scene. I've always found abrupt tense shifts like this to be a writing flaw and I find myself correcting the verb tenses in my mind while reading.
