The succubus of this work, Prisca, was as a whole quite disappointing. She’s very stereotypically “evil” and “monstrous” in her nature and that was disappointing. Considering all that she had created and done, I expected more from her than what transpired in the story. She was a means to an end, a rather thin one really, and that took away much from her character. I expected something of a more involved, present, and in control personality, but that didn’t come out in the story well I thought. | The succubus of this work, Prisca, was as a whole quite disappointing.

Again, I just expected better when she appeared, that didn’t really come out in the story. | ||
Still, the story isn’t about Prisca, it is about Jori and Del and that part of the work did manage to keep my interest, have good heat between the characters, and keep them from being cardboard in their personalities. There’s a good deal of history involved in their characters and that drew me into the story. Their world is complex, but at the same time there’s so much distrust, anger, fear, and more that to live in such a world much be soul sapping over time. | Still, the story isn’t about Prisca, it is about Jori and Del and that part of the work did manage to keep my interest, have good heat between the characters, and keep them from being cardboard in their personalities.
