first things first, I'm here for the EvS review battle (go Silver!) but also because I absolutely loved The Secret of Moonacre/The Little White Horse.
And of course, I totally shipped Maria/Robin! So I'm 110% here for that too.
There's a couple of small physical hiccups but they don't take away from the writing itself (for example - on one line you capitalise Father but on the next you don't & "over baring".)
You clearly put a lot of effort into describing her thought process and the sheer level of emotion she's feeling and I absolutely adore it. It all feels so real!
I also love the line "the traitor, the liar, the thief of my heart" SO MUCH! I'm such a sucker for anything angsty and it gives the reader such a beautifully clear insight into what she's feeling - this betrayal at the hands of Robin.
Absolutely beautiful, so glad I read it, really hoping you write more of it!!!
