Woah! What did i just read. I felt that this was more of Meena's story than anyone. Redemption quest i can say. First few chapters were light and slow but story took pace in last couple of chapters. its dark, i am glad i found this here. There is very few writers i admire. Being a writer my self got a lot of insight in character building and story progression.
There is no mercy indeed. I would love to read your writing further in next part of the story. your reflection on characters and point of views with which you wrote was excellent. I would love to read some fantasy fiction of you, if you try in future. I would to totally recommend writing it.
Your writing style is good and likable. Not a fan of stretching stories either.
It was very well written and There was no happy ending in this which i liked. Seeing few comments I smell sequel is already written and completed that might answer few questions. thoroughly enjoyed it well not enjoyed some part was painful but pleasurable as fiction.
Thank you for your detailed review. The sequel of this story is named 'A Game of Chess' and is very close to my heart. Here's the link https://xforum.live/threads/a-game-of-chess-completed.18330/
Cheers!
