Of course! It was a really great story, thank you for writing it.

Thank you so much! I don't think I can envision any higher praise than having my writing be called "RAKESFALL-like." I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I had a lot of fun writing it and trying to articulate what made your work so compelling to me.
