Review Detail of TailsOfHope in The Shadow I live With

The author is able to deliver to their readers a clear, definable image in very few words. The narrator is able to easily draw interests to the happenings of the town, and their dynamic with other characters adds much to the story. However, I feel juxtaposed while reading it. So, a few chapters into the story, a thought crosses my mind. "This could have ended on chapter one". It felt self-contained, in a way. Suspenseful and curious. That's just my opinion though and obviously doesn't reflect the general audience.
