Comment on Daughter of Old Time

  1. Hi, so I don't normally leave comments, never in fact. Usually, I read, smash that kudos button and run, but I felt compelled to do so here. These first two chapters have been fantastic, fantastic! I know you said you were looking for feedback so I just wanted to say something, to be of a little encouragement, because there is so much quality here that I'd be a shoe in for reading it no matter how long it would turn out, I mean this right here for example from chapter 1:

    "But their heights are the same, hair close to the same texture, noses the same shape, forehead the same size. Like the funhouse mirrors at the carnival she’d been to when she was young--everything there, but some parts stretched and others small, bits pulled and pushed and some blurred to the point of nonrecognition. Everything the same, but nothing at all the same."

    This is the sort of quality I'm here for. Actually a perfect description/comparison, that I had to take a moment to reread it several times before reading further, it's an absolute gem.

    And yes, so much happened in OB that it would be a mammoth undertaking and I'd understand if it would be impossible to complete this idea, but it's working so well so far. And I have to admit I'm curious about "monitor" Cosima. I'm curious how the roles between cophine are going to be reversed, and I also miss the show so much that this would be as much of a comfort to read as it would be a thrill to read.

    Just really, again I have to say a fantastic read so far, and I hope you continue.
