Review
The striking visuals, created through Ayres’s descriptive storytelling, and the relatable protagonist Ula will end up staying in your heart long after reading this short story. I admired how gracefully the story welcomed me into Ula’s world and within the first few pages, there’s a coming of age feeling about her experiences that’s intriguing. What captured my imagination the most was the compelling mythos Ayres built―it’s the kind that fantasy lovers can get behind.
