Amy's Eyes by Richard Kennedy
4.0
This was beautifully written, with such a classic sense to it. I really feel like this is something special… and yet the ending just leaves me feeling unsatisfied.
The Captain's death, the frog's death, just. None of it felt as if the journey was worth it. Sure, Amy has her father back, and Miss Eclair has revealed herself, but at what cost did everything come? The Captain's dead, and none of it feels right.
But, maybe that's the point-- that gold and the desire for adventure had led them all into death and despair.
-sigh-
Beautiful. Sad. And I wish things ended differently.
