So good! Feels like the same world as the story with the Sleeper/Singer?

So dark and cleverly appealing, satisfying that deep human desire that the fates always insure maintenance of equilibrium between good and evil in the universe.

And I love that this story lives in the same mythical space as two of your other wonderful stories. One of which was my first introduction to your vast imagination and brilliant writing! Reading them again brought tears!!
