    First of all, the dialogue pops. The repartee between Sam and Jebediah is rhythmic, lived-in, believable in the way only long-term couples who have suffered each other’s laundry habits can ...

    For what it's worth, the writing is crisp, sometimes even mesmerizing. The atmosphere is immediately heavy, almost indulgently so, as though the story knows exactly what it wants to be: ...

    To begin, I haven't read the previous chapters, but the prose is well written. It is lush, ornate, deeply enamored with itself, and structured well. Every surface glistens, every wall ...

    So... Azure and Two Time sit together under a sunset, and this, at the start, is effective. The mismatched sandwiches speak more clearly than their words. Two Time’s distancing behaviors ...

    The monotony is established within the first sentence, and then, quite fittingly, I suppose, it repeats itself. In theory, the father's death should be the catalyst, some moment when the ...
