The opening to this chapter really reminded me of the austerity of having watched that movie Mongol . I thought this chapter definitely had a mood of foreboding with it . the future khan , the children , the dreams . A good theme throughout .
Salty, fishy and endangered? Love? Indeed.
As for the imagery, I think you caught out more than I directly meant, which is always a big perk to reading comments on your work. Sometimes the reader sees more.
Thank you all very much for commenting. It is very important for motivation!
Update by mid-week.
Great chapters as ever. Few AARs have this narrative beauty, interesting characters, deep historical knowledge and cool maps. And let's not forget, where else can you have love and caviar, Jungian analysis and Basques fishing Canadian cod 600 years ahead of the OTL?
