I’ll start off by letting you know that I absolutely adore the banner. It’s simply gorgeous and I think it fits with your title quite perfectly. And the layout…
It’s absolutely amazing. I love how simple it is, because it works very well with how everything looks on the page. Yes, I definitely think I’m going to enjoy reading this story.First off, the way you capture emotion in this is just…I’m literally tearing up right now, about to go into full blown crying mode. It was beautiful. The way Anastasia loved Cobi so, so much is blatantly obvious to the readers. You captured that emotion amazingly well. Then again, all of your stories always capture emotion really, really well.
The second thing I loved most about this was how she tried to cling to him, even as she grew into an older woman. She clearly loved him for her whole life and it’s been hard for her. I love how you’ve made it so easy for the readers to empathize with her. I could definitely see this becoming a full length story someday if you were ever up to it.
I really like this so far. The emotions are so strong and well written. The feeling of losing someone like that, I can relate to, and I'm definitely looking forward to what you have coming up next. :) So, in short: Update soon!
