I love a story that can pluck me from my reality and deposit me into the depths of someone else’s imagination seamlessly. This one absolutely nailed it. The characters were the absolute best, the story was perfection, and the writing style (as always) superb. The only negative thing I have to say is that it wasn’t long enough. I wanted more.

�� Tempus fugit is a good one,�� she said, “but time doesn’t always fly, as everyone who’s ever had to wait around for something knows. I think tempus est umbra in mente is a better one. Roughly translated, it means time is a shadow in the mind.��

I can assure you that time will fly when you read this one.

“A brave man helps. A coward just gives presents.��
