Oh, thank you so much, truly. I've always aspired to write the sort of story a reader could sink into, but was never confident I had the right kind of style to my prose or was good enough at evoking atmosphere to actually pull it off. And I am so glad there's newness in this despite it trundling alongside the series events. It's been a challenge, to maintain some narrative tension when I know everyone essentially knows what happens next.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and thank you extra much for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. I appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story, too. ♥
