This is good. Lots of nice imagery. Dragons and warriors. Love and war. Unfortunately, I never connected with the characters. Epic style fantasy is difficult to pull off in the short story or novella medium. At least that's been my experience. I'm probably wrong. No doubt there are examples where short-form epic-styled works have come off brilliantly. I just haven't read one yet.

This is a weird one. Despite some good descriptive phrases here and there, I was utterly lost as to the world building, plot and characters. Heavy handed on everything being gendered - but without anything explained or demonstrated by it.

It was good, but I thought I was starting a book. Instead, it was a short story!

I liked this. I’m impressed at the amount of story included in such a small number of pages.
