Breach of Peace was a Novella I can say I liked and enjoyed. The starting of it all didn't quite engross me as much as I liked, I did think that it was paced quickly enough to keep me going throughout it all. I understand the foundation and setup for most stories should have a right to some degree to the setup all of its aspects so although I was not engrossed from the beginning or even the middle, I do think the last 25% of this novella did make up for the first 75% of it which is wild to say but I stand by it. I personally think that last quarter was strong enough to warrant it all of this. Overall, the novella isn't even 100 pages, so it's a short read anyway. And it's not like the first 75% was bad anyway. It was just okay to decent enough if I'm speaking critically. The characters I don't think I got enough time with to really get connected to them before what went down went down, but they were not bad either, they were at least well-written enough and memorable enough. That being said, and I'll state this again, I do think the execution of what goes down at the end is to be commended nonetheless. I think this is a good start to this series The Lawful Times as he calls it.
Daniel B. Greene's Prose
For his first published entry, I personally am impressed with his prose, I thought mostly everything felt very reader-friendly and quite smooth in regards to basically everything. Although I do feel some of the profanity (especially in the middle even with the narrator cursing as well) may have been just a tad bit overused and took me out of the scenes just a tad, everything else shines brighter than it to the point where it did not ruin my overall enjoyment of his writing style.
