This serial has definitely been one of my favorites. Freelance and Fishmaids was great because it felt like a crossover, everything coming together. This is great because of how different it feels from the rest of the Ferris Isle Cycle, the connections to other tales are distant and mythical.

Also liked the poem making the Maya myth connection even more explicit.

I think beautiful is the best word that springs to mind. Just simply beautiful. Thank you very much for giving us this story. I have adored it all the way.

A proper and peaceful finale, leaving hope of grace and harmony in nature I think.

Ah, what a beautiful ending! Your nature descriptions always leave me swooning. I do have one question--we all know about the orchard hounds... are there orchard fowl we haven't met yet? or am i just forgetting a link to some other ferris island lore?

Poetry and wonder! I love the breath of coming spring in it, and the strengthening of homeplace.
