When I started this story, I was worried. There are a lot of distracting and unnecessary synonyms for 'said' to begin with.
It opens with a sequence made up entirely of dialogue and dialogue tags, but once that ended, I was invested. And with the first raising of the stakes at about the 25% mark, I was hooked and didn't notice another dialogue tag throughout.
