He said, she said.

Really enjoying the plot and the universe of this series so far, my one big reservation, as a listener, is the authors writing style.
His insistence upon continually using the phrase "he/she said" in close proximity is extremely annoying. There are literally hundreds of other words that could replace the word "said" in a sentence, there are also hundreds of phrases that could replace "he/she said" many of which could denote feeling, tone and intent, to rely upon this one phrase is both lazy and incredibly, annoyingly, repetitive.

Great short story

This is a great short story, in a collection of intertwined short stories.

I will look for more title by this author.

Short, but good!

The story keeps getting better and I really like how the author keeps changing the way the story is told in each chapter.
