A/N: Some dialogues are written in Jamaican dialect to capture the authenticity of the island's language. However the overall narrative is in standard English, which retains its readability. For better understanding of the dialect, you can view the basic glossary at the link below, but as you read the story, you'll come to grasp it very quickly.

- Silent RainRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0So I know that I'm doing this review way to early along inside a novel on here. However, it would be remiss of me to not acknowledge the effort put into using localized dialect in writing. True to the authors words it takes a small adjustment and a few moments to parse the meanings of some words it is a fact that it is all understandable, and that outside speech the grammar is impeccable. Truly a good start that I hope to see more of.
