A very thought provoking short fantasy story. A very slow start in a good way, with strong careful, well unfolded character development leading to an explosion of an ending which brought all the threads together. I didn't mean to finish it so fast. When I got my hands on it I just intended to open the file and check the font size etc. I ended up reading the first chapter before I could stop myself. Later I decided to read the next chapter. That was when I read the rest of the book in one sitting in one of those “I don't care if the building is on fire, I'M READING!” moods.

So yes, this was a really good read and to those who have read it, I say: I refuse to throw this book on the fire.
