well, I don't even know where to start. I know this will sound cliché and you probably already know this, but I need to say it again: you write absurdly well. I finished the plague doctor a few hours ago. Your story, somehow, made me go to sleep thinking about it and wake up thinking about it too. As you can see, the state I live in in Brazil is experiencing completely devastating tragedies. Your writing distracted me, made me smile and feel relief in the midst of so much chaos. You deserve all the recognition, you deserve respect and affection for the way you strive to work so well on your characters.
keep writing, author N. ❤️
