quick, desperate rec

[verdeckt]

Oh God. Oh God. I have been waiting with keen anticipation and something almost akin to dread, but positive, electric, for a particular entry at snapecase, for The Lost World to be precise, knowing it would spell a new chapter in my life, knowing it would eat me alive just as I devoured it, knowing it would be cleansing, redefining, humbling, devastating

I read it and am completely blown away.... I have to leave a comment for the author later, I would not know how to express anything right now!

Oh, my dear, I am thrilled that you read it, and even more thrilled by your reaction. Not knowing how to express anything right now sums up the ticket . . . I won't be able to comment for a while either, because this deserves numerous re-readings and contemplation.

I have read it
There are no more coherent thoughts in my head
I still feel the sensation of the forest around me
And I'm sure I haven't even understood half of it, I need to read it again. A Snape/snake metamorphosis, Ovidius, Eurydice... My head is spinning.

My dear, I know I haven't understood even half of it, but it matters not, for this story has become my salvation. Analysing it, coming to terms with it, discussing it, examining it from all edges -- the very thought bespeaks happiness. I feel I have been waiting for this story for such a very long time.

As usual, she has left me with my heart in pieces and I can't form an actual review - just a flail. Sometime after the initial shock of it has worn off, I'll be able to leave the review this piece deserves. Until then I'll just add another box of coconut tea to the shrine I keep for her. :-)
