Very good job of getting the information in, without overwhelming the reader. That's hard to do. Your pacing, specifically of the reveals, is excellent.

I love the historical feel of this. It felt very well researched, very well informed. I love that kind of story, the ones that feel so authentic. Well done!

Fascinating piece. How calm Yingtai is, even though she is a prisoner... and breaking a cultural law at that. Well done.

Ooo, I love non-linear storytelling; the flashbacks were great! The story itself was very powerful, and actually made me look up basic information about the early history of silk production.
