Guest Reviewer Eric B. says:
"This novella is gem of great workmanship. It’s a song, it sings from the page: melancholy, joyful, dark, strange and fascinating. The character of Auri is unique in my reading experience. We feel the apprehension and triumphs as she carefully navigates the often sinister halls of her subterranean world. Mysterious and mystical, lyrical and lilting, innocent and worldly wise, the prose reads like poetry in this lovely ballad of balance, peril, hope and love. Fans of Patrick Rothfuss will not be disappointed, I think, in this extraordinary work of bright imagination."
