I really like this. Stories like this have a particular style that just intrigue the reader and keeps them reading. I want to write more stuff like this when I get the time. Well done.
Truly generous words. Thank you, David! I also look forward to reading your work. Fantasy is a genre I love but find difficult to write. Those who do have my deep respect.
Wowza. This is really good. Chilling and kind of comical all at the same time. I love how you managed to work in so much back story without slowing down the action.
Thrilling! You've captured the time period nicely too.
Thank you so much!
It's tough not to let the language wander into caricature when writing a period piece, so I'm glad this worked out.
Happy you enjoyed it. :)

Thank you! I credit my college professors and Flannery O'Connor for the pacing. "Every word for a reason."
