My intention was 100% to play KP and James’ route in PAIRS next, but then I got totally sidetracked — in the best way possible — by this game. I love reading fairytaleseque stories, and this game delivers both in terms of the art (so gorgeous! Gran was my favorite, I think, but it's hard to say because everything was so beautiful and so *cohesively* beautiful) and the writing (which is both atmospheric but not at all tiring to read, and that’s not an easy balance to find).

Most of all, I love love LOVE the trope of the “common” practical girl who interacts with a mythological/fantastical figure who is objectively more powerful than her. I love the entirety of the Prince’s design and esp the lines “It reminds me of the wolf’s shuffling snort, but without the vibrant, living emotion behind it. It is unholy. Repulsive. Subconsciously, I recoil like a dead thing has fallen from his mouth instead.” This is some FANTASTIC writing.I keep rereading it and being wowed every time.

I really liked their dialogue. I want to read it again later, but it really strikes me how, and I don’t think I’m going to word this properly but, how they aren't afraid of being honest with each other – there’s no one else around them, and there’s no specific protocol to follow, so when they talk, it’s without pretences.

My favorite ending…HM. I kind of loved each of them for different reasons XD. Instinctively, my heart says Ending 2 because I love bittersweet endings, but I also have a soft spot for Ending 3 because it was the one I got first.
