What an uplifting story! I don't have as much time to read for pleasure as I'd like so a story has to be good to keep me 'turning the pages', and this was fantastic! I'm so lucky to come to it when it's complete as I had the luxury of devouring it with no anxious wait for the next chapter. When reality has so much darkness, Headstall's stories are cozy duvets of escapism that warm and comfort the soul.
Morningstar is such a well developed world, subtly uncovered and expanded throughout the story with amazing twists and turns that kept me wanting to know more. Having finished it, I still want, need to know more!
The characters are all so well drawn, so deep, vivid, alive. Hopes and dreams, scars and prejudices, loves and losses, the bruises of lives lived are wonderfully, emotionally explored. These characters are people, most of whom I'd love to meet, some not so much!
Romance, emotion, love, identity, family, belonging and loss are core elements beautifully woven throughout; I could feel the depth of emotions the characters were experiencing, such is the magic of the writing.
Loved every chapter.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
