Once again the author did not disappoint with this novella. The complexity of the characters reflecting quite accurately the complexity of being is to be appreciated as well as they way they struggle to cope with their past and demons. Some things aren't as clear as they could be,
especially things related to the extent and consequences of Atrius's curse
, but overall it was a very nice read. One might have expected it to be difficult to read a story in which the narrator's blind and unable to see, but of course, Broadbent made it work brilliantly. The ending is also to be appreciated, showing the extent of Atrius's goodness of character, or perhaps it was just a bit precipitate, but overall, this trope being a bit different than what is often seen and expected was a pleasant though quick surprise.
