The story itself seemed a bit familiar. Maybe a bit like some other story I read, but couldn't put my finger on. Then things changed, and familiarity was replaced by a big grin on my face. Good job, Mr. Pawlik. Good job. ...more

There were a few emotional moments within the story, but I thought that some areas could have been fleshed out more. It felt as though some segments were rushed, as though the author didn't want to dedicate more time to them. A bit of a shame, as the ...more

W. Franklin’s Quotes

“Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.”
