What marvelous writing! I so look forward to this tale now that I have a better sense of what it entails, and now that I know I am in the hands of a good storyteller.

Indeed. One can like a person, but a writer must show the goods. Great start. I love it.

I feel as if I have stumbled down a rabbit hole. I wanted to start from the beginning and to put it frankly, I'm hooked! I'm looking forward to binging the series!

This is intriguing! I love the premise and the journal style; it immediately pulls the reader into the heart of the story. I was right there in the tunnel with Eidothea and Llyr! And the way you naturally incorporate the backstory is great - that's not an easy thing to do.

Incorporating the back story was a hard lesson to learn! Thank you so much! This means a lot!

Great characters. Love how the worldbuilding is done here effortless and does not slow down the story. Great read Leanne.
