Horrifying; tender; astonishing. I've no idea how you managed to weave a reality so harsh--lit with the pitiless glare of Logan-as-mercenary's view of the world & the shattered grimness of a girl's life as forsaken as this Marie's--& not have it be hopeless. But you've managed it.
Extraordinarily high-quality writing, coupled with an inspiring narrative/characterization achievement. Very, very well done indeed. Thank you.
