Reactions and Reviews

... [one of the] gems. 'Fealty' by Bryn Lantry, is one of my favourite stories, simple but quite beautiful. It's mostly PGP, A/B and quite lyrical - it breaks my 'Avon Does Not Cry' rule and does it wonderfully, without sentiment. Both men are perfectly in character, and I'd keep the whole zine just for these 12 pages. [2] [3]

One of Bryn's less incomprehensible stories. I prefer a Blake who hasn't given up, and an Avon less willfully fae, but... there's lots to like about this story. Nice two-act structure, and it's interesting that we the audience are let in on the secret of Blake's identity immediately, and so the whole story is about how Avon will react not the twist. [4]
