Reading it again I feel like it may be a bit inaccessible for people not familiar with the main game that this is a (standalone) prequel to. Certainly it gains a lot if you do have a reference to moonlight castle. I'm of course biased in favor of it, even if it's definitely a long haul that barely ekes in under the word count. Oliver is great... though I also think that Liam and Patrice have more chemistry than Oliver and Patrice, but sometimes that's just how it is on this bitch of an earth. Anyway Patreechey my beloved.
