Hi, this is a reciprocal review since you took the time to read and review my story www.coven.com. Thank you for that.
I loved this story. The repeated image of the blue skies, explained through the smashed picture (a very nice, "ah yeah, I get it" moment) is really touching. The unspoken conversation between Leonard and David is poignant and something I'm sure we can all relate to. While the ending is sad, it's full of hope and new potential and I really liked that.
I only had one tiny thing that jarred with me, and it may be because I'm reading this pretty late, but how does the grimace stay on Leonard's face through his little sleep? I'm not really sure why but that threw me off the actual story to begin with.
You should be very proud of this story, it's excellent.
First of all: this story is nuts! To begin with I was confused, then became bewildered and ended with a huge grin. The ending is really funny and downright baffling.
I really enjoyed this because, quite frankly, I had no idea where it was going and the leprechaun love story surprised the hell out of me.
To attempt a balanced review: it rattles along at a great pace but I was a bit confused about how a vampire could "grow up", with them being, well, dead and all. But to be honest that was soon lost in the lunacy of smuggling a leprechaun across the US border wrapped in dirty laundry.
Anyway, you made me laugh, so thank you.
