    Another interesting bite of the story, I particularly liked the wording of Para 2.

    I haven’t got round to reading the book yet, it is in the queue on my kindle still, but I am certainly looking forward to it, I will probably save it for my holiday in May. 🙂

    Good luck with the novel Icy, best wishes. 🙂

    Eufame’s voice seemed to stand out more than anyone’s in the book, and this was a nice little adjunct. (Need to write that review, too…)

      Yay, reviews! I’m glad you liked Eufame, she’s a lot of fun to write.

    Sometimes it seems those among the living are more dead than the dead, especially when the dead return.

    Great voice, this necromancer.

    Having read the novella, it’s very cool to read something from Eufame’s POV. Great narrative voice!

    “…death isn’t the binary state most people assume it to be.” Something about this line captured my attention, and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. I have enjoyed the little glimpses into your novel, Icy, and I wish you all the success. Thank you for sharing your imagination.

    It’s nice to meet the Necromancer herself. She sounds absolutely intriguing, but I’m not sure I would invite her to dinner parties either. 🙂

      I think I would, but then I’m biased 😉
