ARC review; Thanks to NetGalley and Silver Thistle Press for the access to this ebook.
I loved this short story! It mixes historical fiction and the paranormal super well, and it explores the horrors of war as well as the consequences of blind greed and just being an unempathetic, selfish human being.
The writing was very nice and descriptive, which made this feel immersive. I wish there was more background and information about the main character, but it still works super well as a short story. I think I would've read at least 100 more pages about this.
