The evocative scenery and sensory descriptions of this novella were beautiful and captivating. But the storyline left me cold. I couldn't feel where the author was trying to lead me. Maybe it was just too short. Or maybe I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief enough. But this didn't do much for me I'm afraid.
