Heavy telling rather than showing but it has a dog!

I prefer an immediate first person point of view with the character experiencing the various senses rather than a semi first person with a large amount of telling and then telling a lot more.
If you find a work that never really "takes off" it may suffer from telling rather than showing.
The author here clearly loves the genre and it's expected tropes are present regardless of the telling. The voice is clear. I did not notice any jarring misreading or problems with continuity.
It has a dog. Three stars for the authors obvious love of the genre and inclusion of the dog.
