@ smaoineamh It's been a real pleasure :)
I love your style of writing and the way you fill the story with emotions, making me feel Redras' discomfort with being cruel to the man he loves. The overall story was good too, no illogical jumps or other common mistakes.
Personally, I'd prefer less sex scenes - but that's just a preference. Also, while it might take away some of the (amazing) density, I'd love some background information on the overall political systems, the neighbouring kingdoms, geography and such... Maybe in a flashback of Redras' childhood.
All in all, I really appreciate all the effort you put in this book and am looking forward to seeing the next one.
