Wonderful! Action, conflict, happy ending for the resolution! I've always especially liked this pairing with its roller-coaster of emotional turns. I'm so pleased to see it reach a satisfying conclusion. Mentally, I hear the soft music as the book closes..."and they lived happily ever after because they were togther."
aw...you write so beautifully. and i'm so happy someone wrote about ione, i've been meaning to but i've got no inspiration. anyway, this was a great piece, i hope you continue with it or something along it's line. i can't wait for more on arkology revisted too. update soon!
