Books by Aspen in the Sunlight
A Year Like None Other
by Aspen in the Sunlight
· published 2006 · last read 2022-06-06
★★☆☆☆
Decent Severitus, I suppose – okay writing, absurd amounts of processing, and follows the hurt/comfort rules to a t.
A Summer Like None Other
by Aspen in the Sunlight
· published 2013 · read 2020-02-28
★☆☆☆☆
Doubles down on the weaknesses of the first part: excessive processing, repetitive and predictable. Okay writing, occasionally humorous dialogue, bug still little action spread out by virtue of extreme blathering.
A Family Like None Other
by Aspen in the Sunlight
· published 2023 · read 2020-02-29
★☆☆☆☆
Look, this is still farly decent in writing (though it continues the big fault of spending 90% of time on telling, not showing, and processing). But the "problems" posed are so contrived, so frustrating, that I really fail to see the point. An author is supposed to chase the protagonist up the tree and pelt them with coconuts, yes, but making the floor magically vanish, have them fall onto a tree, and have it rain coconuts is a bit much.
