What a brilliant, action-packed conclusion! I honestly did not see that twist from Paul, but I think he got what he deserved in the end.
I found your description of the Tangle fascinating, and I appreciated the nods to children's literature. It was a horrific inversion of the classic characters, and I loved it. I felt a deep kinship with Flora and her motives for going back (as a fellow librarian, I also feel that stronger loyalty to books).
Thank you so much for the kind words and close reading! It absolutely warms my heart to know that people are enjoying these weird stories. And I'm particularly flattered to know that it rang true to a librarian! I hope your working environment is more pleasant than Flora's.
