A review by semidreamless
Captured Shadows by Richard Rider

I really love the setting, I really love the development of the relationship, there was super adorable flirting and tension and apology via potato, and all the photography details were fascinating, but a lot of the plot did not feel like it came naturally, and I'm really sick of romances where there's a huge time jump to many years down the line when they're old or one of them has died (not to spoil the ending or anything...) But seriously I am so done with that trope.

On the other hand, apology potato:

"Bleeding hell, is this what it's come to? I'm sorry, alright? I didn't know what to say to make it better so I never said a thing and that didn't work neither so I bought you a bloody potato and if that don't work I might just go and pick a bridge to fling myself off because I'm all out of ideas. This ain't something I've done before, you know."

"This?" I echoed cautiously, wondering exactly which part of this he meant, and he made a vague sort of hand gesture between us.
