I always like works that reference or work with multiple art forms like music, architecture, etc. Strangely though, it ends up being a very "clean" story and a little distant about something very messy and fraught with emotional confusion, but maybe we'll get some more depth to the characters in later chapters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191989247329577169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-68032718062180063262015-05-28T22:40:37.707+01:002015-05-28T22:40:37.707+01:00I enjoyed reading this.

I did feel the need to know the characters better - maybe to see them in other settings to make me care about them a little more - although the 2D sense illustrated Brand's bleached out and barren view of relationships/women? I agree that it would be interesting to have an episode 2.....<br />Thanks,<br />CeinwenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-14741753034136792632015-05-26T10:39:57.525+01:002015-05-26T10:39:57.525+01:00Not a bad, almost erotic but with some redeeming q...Not a bad, almost erotic but with some redeeming qualities. I liked Myra, she is mischievous, but not vindictive in a violent sense.Might even be good for a episode two.Charles Mercercnoreply@blogger.com
