This was just stunning in every aspect- lyrical and epic and sweeping and so deeply romantic, this took me on a journey and refused to let go. Red and Blue are so fantastic as characters and as a pairing and I both delighted in their banter and love story and felt deep loss when the third act transpires. This was just brilliant.

This is not a story for people who want deep lore or even coherency, this is for those who like myths and the feeling of stepping into a fairy circle for the first (and last) time.
