This anon would just like to tell you what an absolute JOY it was to read this. It was articulate without being stuffy, and the twists and turns it took were emotional and amazing. The bittersweet ending really pulled the whole thing together, too.
However, that's not what really endeared it to me. Anon was a loner Back In The Day, with not a whole lot besides the library's mythology section to keep anon company. Anon studied Norse, Greek, Japanese, Celtic; you name it, anon studied it.
Seeing those myths come to life alongside some of my favorite characters really did something for me. The evolving psychology, the interaction of the Gods, Nations and humans, the wonderful settings (anon FLAILED upon first seeing Nivian Lake), it all came together so wonderfully.
And now, on a less serious note, anon is buying MORE iron to place around the house, because anon is a bardic RDNA member, and the idea of evil Fey scare the hell out of anon. XD; reCaptcha: decanted emotions. I thought it was appropriate.
I also have fond memories of reading mythology. I was mostly in middle school and junior high when I read them, but I was big on Greek mythology and King Arthur's legends. I'm starting to get back into it since I've come to college - I read a lot of myths and stuff, like the Tale of Lanval and the Faerie Queene.
I understand where you're coming from, and I wish you the best of luck with that iron fence. Thank you so much for reading this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
