…Wow. Truly. WOW
I am Blown away by what I just read. For just the start of this IF (- and your First one!), this was so Heavy and Powerful and Compelling. I *MUST* say: ‘Bravo’. A lot of people write on war and loss (or both), but don’t actually sell that terrible space and how it affects relationships. Yet you managed in the first few pages to really drive in the Very clear tragic and desolate themes in this story. The loss is Palpable to the MC; as is their Grief, Blame and Regret. I really feel like I’ve lost so much of my family and yet I still have to hold it all together for those who are left. (Or not! The option variety is so Good!!) The Farah scene was Delicious. Just Achingly visceral and Lovely. Respect for not holding back/making that interaction easy/neat. Phew….
Definitely adding this to my collection. Keep doing what you’re doing. I am Cheering and Screaming and Crying lol ❤️
