This was amazing!! The story had me gripped by my throat and I ended up finishing the whole thing in one sitting. I can't express how grateful I am that you put this up on here for free!
I love love love the importance of community and knowledge in the story. The importance of books and preserving and learning from history was highlighted so well, I couldn't help but feel emotional considering there's been a recent "ban" on some books (notably books that portray queer relationships) where I live. I can't stress enough the importance of being able to freely read what you want, and live how you want without fear of punishment.
This is the longest comment I've ever written on this site and it's def more "formal sounding" than what I usually write lol
Once again thank you for this wonderful story!! :D
Edit: I also wanna add how much I love the cast. They were all distinct but equally likeable, and I love them to absolute bits!!
