I was so swept away by this story that I don't even know where to begin. I sat in my car reeling from the characters' heartbreak, screamed into the void for them to make different choices, and muttered a constant stream of "no no no no don't" as they hurtled towards yet another awful situation. In other words, the storytelling had me in a chokehold of feelings and I loved every second. The story explores choices and their consequences in a setting that spans worlds with an intriguing system of magic and accompanying mythology. The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star story is the ending needed a little refinement; in some ways it was too slow and in others it was rushed. I really loved this and I look forward to more from this author.
