5.0

I am really just now delving into Alyssa Wong's short fiction and I have to say. It is some of the most beautiful short form that I have ever read! I really appreciate her use of language in this piece, the way she gives the dead life (ha! get it?) through her words. There is magic here, ancient and beautiful but also a curse in it's own way. No amount of power comes without a price here and I really love that she makes that very clear. No matter how strong that her characters get, they never stray outside of what makes them human to me, and that makes them so easy to get attached to. I can't wait to dive deeper into her catalog, hopefully soon they will give us an anthology/collection of her work!
