Review: “Darkness only lives where we let it” – such a great theme! Sometimes a few stories stick to us for long after we are done reading, this is one such short shot. Mara’s determination, her rebel against the magically secured world and ultimately her venture towards the outer world of darkness, these events have been portrayed in a well-thought manner. The tiny bit of criticism would be about the prompt execution. Almost the whole of the story narrates the tale of unfortunate sacrifices of the newborns. Mara refused to do that. It would be a much immersive read, had the writer bring forth the spotlight upon this event where she is giving birth and what she feels of the sacrifice and of saving his son. A more thorough description of the emotional details, that's what the suggestion is. Overall, it's appreciable how well a whole story has been squeezed within this word count and all the while the sequence remains coherent. Well done! Keep writing.
