Compelling story. I like seeing and hearing about "things" from a child's perspective because they often see and hear things that adults, in all their busyness, often miss. Lots of insight into life on Surebleak for the Clan, as well as more information about the insidiousness of the DOI. And to me, this was not "a story about a child." It was a story told from a child's perspective -- very different thing, I think.
I'm glad that from your viewpoint it "turned out just as it ought." I imagine that with the bullheadedness of Korval that stories about them often go in directions that you weren't planning on at the beginning. I like the resolution as well, and am glad that it pleased you.
Thanks -- this is one that will be re-read frequently.
