Breathless. Wonderfully edgy, a story with so many depths to be read and read again.

this was so good - i'm glad you didn't trash it
something unreal and other worldly about it, but still - sunk in reality . . .

Unreal was how it felt to me too, and why I was so uncertain about it. But if it still feels real to you, then it's a huge compliment and thank you so much for it. I'm really sad they aren't making a sequel too, because Eastern Promises ended on such a depressing note for Nikolai. I hope you enjoyed watching it now you have the full movie?

Thank you again, lovely. ♥
