Found the Glinda ref. a little distracting (as kept trying to work out the OZ ref when I should have been paying attention to your prose) but that's a minor niggle.<br /><br />BTW - nominated you for a 'Versatile Blogger', here: http://cafeshorts.co.uk/news/the-versatile-blogger-award/ in honour of your world-building expertise as well as your writing. <br /><br />St.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111660663883108862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-9189964806291378692011-07-19T02:01:12.440-07:002011-07-19T02:01:12.440-07:00Interesting story.

But, I enjoyed the characters and they are very well described and portrayed. <br /><br />I enjoyed it, and will look for more - of this story or another.

That is good if that was the intention to make the reader think of "good witch" - which seems the case. The characters are interesting. I like the triangle of conflict and questions they create between one another.
