Graeme Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I loved the twists and turns in this story, especially how one just flowed into the next so there was no break, no interruption to the enjoyable read. One thing I've always liked about Cynus's stories is the attention to detail. The little things like the wrought-iron stairway, or the fine detailed descriptions that never seem to be laboured. I guessed at least part of the ending before it was revealed, but that didn't change the enjoyable nature of the story. Thanks, Cynus! Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I read this a couple days ago. You don't get the punchline until the end. Mere mortals> <Cynus Quote Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 This is really great. I was reminded of a few scenes from The Hobbit and I was so pleased the story ended as it did. Brilliantly woven story, thanks Cynus! Quote Link to comment

Cynus Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thank you, Graeme, Lug, Bruin, and Nigel. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. :) This was a joy to write this year. Quote Link to comment
Steven Adamson Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 That story took a weird turn in all the best ways. The intrusion of some mythology into the modern day is always a tricky proposition, especially the risk of cliche, but this works well and comes out fresh. Quote Link to comment
