It’s a cute little story about an adventure, the moments along the way, and how Derek’s past with Sonya, a succubus, is entwined with him. It’s a bit simplistic in tone, occasionally drifting from moment to moment, but the main story offers some lovely thoughts and ideas which I enjoyed.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">As the work is mainly focused upon </ins>this <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">adventure, Derek’s past with Sonya isn’t explained really well. I thought that was a shame as there’s a lot of story hidden in the shadows which never really sees the light. Mentions of succubi, that there are many of them, is one of those points, but then there’s more to be found beyond that. Nonetheless, Sonya, along with the other succubi mentioned, have stories to tell and they don’t in this work. It’s a missing piece of the story for me, and one that’s very present considering how Sonya and Derek dance around the question, leaving the reader to wonder just how the two of them came together and what happened </ins>in the <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">past</ins>, <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">present and future.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">The work tells a fun story with a hint of mystery within it. There’s </ins>no <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">erotica to speak of, but that’s not the point of the work, so it doesn’t take away from what is, at the core, a really well constructed story. Getting from the start to the finish allows a number of characters to appear, seemingly all having connections with Derek in his past, but like the succubi, those relationships aren’t detailed very strongly.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">I think the main reason for so much of the detail being skimmed over is that Derek is telling the story in his own words to a listener, so there’s a need to keep to the main story and not branch too far away from it. In doing so, the work managed to hold my attention, offer things to think about and in that the writing is very good. The climax of the work is a little bit disappointing in that the story comes to a close, then rushes into the here and now where Derek finds himself facing his past. It’s a good place to end the story, without question however</ins>.</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Perhaps in how things end it will mean that the author will take things back to telling more about Derek himself, Sonya, and with some luck, also tell about succubi in </ins>this <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">story universe as well.
