I was so excited to return to the wonderful world of Dirt Stained Hands, Thorn Pierced Skin, and this lovely story did not disappoint! It was so nice to see Heron and Theomer again, and I loved how they all adapted to their new circumstances. Five stars!
(P.S: Dirt Stained Hands, Thorn Pierced Skin got me into harpsichord music. Seriously. I wanted to listen to music that would evoke the energy of the story after I finished reading it the first time [because I didn't want to forget how the story made me feel] and I started listening to harpsichord music, found it beautiful, and now I listen to harpsichord music all the time! Sometimes I imagine Theomer playing it.)
Aww this comment made my day! So happy you enjoyed the story, and that's so cool to hear about the harpsichord music! <3
