This is, without question, one of the most immensely impactful stories I've ever read. Even just moments after finishing it, I know it'll be one to continue to come back to mind over time. What a beautiful story with beautiful characters and beautiful prose. I'm going to think about Martyr! for a very long time, I think. My heart feels so full.
