Tension builds, big problems looming!

Wow, lots of wonder and wonderful scene-setting and character depth-ing! Great historical writing really puts us there in place and time. Delicate, intricate relationship writing really puts us in these disparate roles, adult and child, human and not. Fascinating reading, honestly.

Wow, things just seem to grow more tense and fraught with unvoiced dangers the further and deeper the story goes. You can see the lines coming together even on the other side of the world. Exciting, and certainly raising hopes.

There is a sweetness to this story, yet also a looming sorrow that builds in intensity. It is somewhat dreadful even though I am enjoying this read.

Wow, shock and sorrow and pain and pause. Very intense these plots now move tighter, circling one another.

Elegant, enchanting, growing on edge. The tension builds while the beauty and mystique remain.

This elegant storytelling leads me along nicely, yet I sense pending, looming, dire happenings.

Pleasing thus far.

Really elegant writing. There's a calmness to this storytelling that lulls and soothes even while the tension builds.
