I feel bad counting this as a completed book lol it was like 30 pages but those 30 were good. I’d love to read more of the story

It was.. good? But disappointing in that the summary combined with the handful of pages of content really made me wish it was a full blown book. A full blown book might rival Circe for me.

The summary really has to be taken as a prologue, other wise you have no idea of the motivation of the main character.

Solid 3, because it didn't feel very resolved. I didn't get time to really like the main character or even form the *much needed* emotional connection the author really wants us to have. The narrative, as normal, is beautiful and I really did find myself wanting an expanded version of this. More time with the characters. More plot, more impact.

It's also no way worth the $12 for the ebook version, imo. For a short story. Get it on sale. I'll all for supporting authors, but that's asking too much for what there is.

No había leido nada de Madeline y quería probar con este libro ya que es corto y se aprecia totalmente su estilo, me ha gustado bastante pese a su brevedad.
