It reminded me what I love so much about short stories and the incredible skill it takes to write one this good, not a single word wasted.<\/p>\n<p>The story feels so much longer than it actually is and is filled to the brim with gorgeous prose. This is one of the best fantasy short stories I&#8217;ve read in a long time. It was so breathtaking that I ended up re-reading it again just a few days after to my husband and daughter and it was just as fantastic the second time. Alix E. Harrow has shot up to the top of my list of authors to watch and read more from in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I would rather <strong>love<\/strong> a <em>coward<\/em> than <strong>mourn<\/strong> a <em>legend<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Content Warnings<\/h2>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Child Death, Gore, Violence <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About Alix E.
