This was enjoyable! Whisper & Julian are cute together, their dynamic was interesting, and there was a small hint of mystery to keep them on their toes.

Brief pause. I'm walking backward into my own myth. I was trying to walk out.

There was something impossible about his beauty. He suited the sunset, as if he was part of the light that was slipping from the world. Will thought, The land would be cold and dark if you were gone. Seeing him now, Will felt lost forever to the knowledge that James was all he had wanted in his past life, and could never possess in this one. 

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. This was so good. SO GOOD.

Everything faded, this world insignificant; James was the only real thing in it. You, you you. James's extraordinary beauty pressed in like a knife; it hurt.

Fuck me this was good. The characters are all interesting and loveable. I love Will & Violet's friendship. The fuckin twist! The goddamn ending! God!
