    A haunting, lyrical, and deeply moving tale. In just 30 pages it accomplishes what many full-length novels struggle to achieve. When it comes to fantasy, a story this short and powerful feels like a rare feat and one that speaks to Alix E. Harrow’s exceptional skill as a writer. What makes it remarkable: -Economy of storytelling: It feels like a fully realized world, with a layered character, and a devastating emotional arc in just a few thousand words. Every sentence feels deliberate, every detail earned. -Narrative voice: The narrator feels simultaneously unreliable and all-knowing. This duality kept me off balance. And loved every part of it. -Emotional range: By the end, I felt both gutted and somehow uplifted. The story evokes heartbreak, awe, and a strange sense of catharsis. -Tone and themes: It’s brutal, tender, disorienting, and strangely inevitable all at once. It explores sacrifice, power, devotion, and identity with poetic intensity. Reading this left me with a strong desire to explore more of Harrow's work. The story reads like a dark fairytale etched in stone: compact, elegant, and impossible to forget.

    I watched the show last year and it made me so sad, clearly the next logical step is reading the book so it can make me sadder. Also, I'm listening to the audiobook and the Irish accent is giving me life.
