I didn't *hate* this story, but I do think I ended up ruining it for myself with too many expectations. I was sorta hoping to find out what happened between Shilana and her son after the epilogue, and I was sorta hoping to see Xanthul'ilia get hers and freeing the souls she'd stolen.
Aw well. Maybe in a later installment... if there is one.
What's here, particularly the bits with the main character learning to live without his eyes, were genuinely pretty good. I freely admit that I'm responsible for ruining the story for myself.
