i recently read something about the dangers of relying on 'thinking" verbs, and this fic is kind of the perfect example of why it's so dangerous. the few few paragraphs are full of them: dreads, likes, dislikes, remembers, misses. all of the details listed using those verbs could have been made much more effective through specific descriptions rather than general. the whole thing felt rushed and thrown together. the story was cute but the way it was a kingdom set in modern times was a little confusing at first. i didn't find the characterization particularly convincing, either.
