Many thanks Hive account@megan.emerald! It means a great deal to me to hear. This was written last November for Hive account@freewritehouse's NaNoWriMo initiative. I started without an outline of any kind, or any idea of where I was going, reverse-engineering a roadmap as I went. So I feel relieved anytime I hear that it isn't a total mess! It'll be interesting to read the whole thing over when I get back to it. And I do intend to get back to it, although maybe not until sometime later in the year, for which I apologize. I'm still a little bit in suspense myself (although I do at this point have a sense of how the pieces fit together, exactly how the ending plays out remains to be seen).

TBH it's also encouraging to receive this kind of feedback from you, specifically, because I think your work is amazing. Thank you for reading it and liking it!
