i thought this was a really enjoyable read. i loved all the characters and thought the world building was fun even if it was a little sparse. would definitely read more about jeremy and rafe finding their way back to skya and emily.

my biggest qualms were i felt like jeremy and rafe should've been a little older during their six months in shannondoa (maybe 16-17) and emily should've been a little younger. emily especially with the way she talked and behaved didn't always feel like an ~adult~ character and the story would've worked well as her also in a 17-18 age (which would've made it feel full circle if jeremy and rafe were also around that age when they met skya). i do have my own headcannon also that time moves differently in shannondoa which made jeremy and rafe feel like they were there longer than six months. overall though even with its faults i liked this a lot!!
