Kinza Carpenter Shores

I look for clear, well-written passages that have a decently complete feel to them. I don’t want to be left grasping for more (unless its one of those exciting open-ended things :D).

I look for roughly good grammar, diction, and clarity. Mood, sentence structure, and an interesting plot. I want to be intrigued, but it doesn’t have to be some sort of twist (though I love those) as long as it causes me to think, react emotionally, or resonates with me in some way. I mean, if people want to try and get on my good side, they can always bribe me with horror or fantasy as long as either are well written 😉
