The Last Correspondent by Soraya M. Lane
2.0
The synopsis sounded interesting and it started out good but unfortunately, it got worse as it went on for me.
The story was just very weak for me. There was no build up to anything. It felt like it just went from one plot point to another and it told what was happening instead of showing it. The conversations also felt unnatural as if the dialog just served to tell us how the characters felt and move along to the next scene.
Other nitpicking things bothered me as the story went on:
- editing issues like a pen turning into a pencil in the middle of a scene, characters standing up then being described as still seated, phrases being repeated multiple times
- injuries that characters should not have survived and then them being miraculous saved
- romance storylines that were bland and cliché
I wanted to like this one but it just didn't work for me. A lot of other WWII womens fiction is recommend over this one.
