What a well written short story. I previously read The Ten Thousand Doors of January and enjoyed it so I thought I would give this story a try and I’m glad I did. It was powerful, dark, and sad, yet hopeful. This short story made me want to read more by this author.

”You are not a knife.”

Simply amazed at how Alix E. Harrow managed to build in so much world building, lore, relationships, and emotions in just 30 pages. Absolutely incredible. 

I would beg for this to be longer but there’s something really special about the structure of this story and the limited time we get with these characters and this world.
