Yay - more! :D Oh, I really do like this universe of yours. :)

I love how easy this reads, as if I could just fall right into this rich universe you've created. You are right, all your characters are ridiculously pretty, but that happens to be just the way I like them. :D Oh the angst, the decadence and the frailty of your characters are so well wrought. LOL. I do love me some angst. Thanks for showing us more of this! <33

"I have not sinned," Mariah says with dignity, and then, when Sharlo and Firenze look incredulous, he adds: "not much, anyway. No new sins, that's got to count for something, hasn't it?"

"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I did an original sin. I poked a badger with a spoon"... ;)

Ooh. This is a wonderfully intriguing universe that you've created - I can see how it's the same world that Sunday lives in, just a different corner.

I don't think you need to tell the story of this world in one long epic, if that seems too unwieldly. It's not unknown for sci-fi and fantasy authors to write collections of short stories that are only loosely related, but take place in the same world.

I see that I will never be able to make assumptions about the gender of people in this world based on their names. Which is fun. More importantly, I love to read about cities of the damned full of wayward heirs and other dissolute people. More, please!

I'm liking how seriously you take magic, and how it appears to be something of a curse although no one comes out and says so.
