Bought it on a whim, no regrets
Great prose and a satisfying finish. The ending landed better than I expected.

Better than expected
Verified buyer
The opening chapter sold me immediately. No typos that I noticed, which is rare at this price.

Some strong chapters
Starts strong and loses some steam near the end. Glad I gave it a chance.
