this is terrific! So I'm following you now not just for the delightfu reads but once again it seems I'm coming at the tail end of this fantastic Give away! So back to the story (but I do need the StarBits) You have a gift at both Painting the picture of the type of relationship with the characters as well as describing the characters themselves very quickly While focusing on the plot! So My favorite part (so far because there is still apparently lots more to come!) , I'll explain why ; "Frix couldn’t help but wonder what his great uncle would think of the big, bloody ‘T’ under all that moss." the reason why (so far) this is my favorit because after all that transpired and was exchanged between Frix and t, and despite telling him he wasn't gonna do it, The bloody mark he left on Frix seemed to be symbolic in that seems to be a turning point In that it was a show of respect For Frix. provided it's not really a spoiler would you tell me if I'm Not way off base?
