Oh man, I love this already. Such great '80s "dark kids movie" vibes. I eat that shit up. I keep imagining it as a beautifully hand-drawn animated movie with a measured pace, like The Secret of NIMH.
Small touch I think is great: giving the cats black speech bubbles.

But maybe start a "Verry Scurry" Reaction Thread" for the rest of these shmucks?
The silhouette of the bird overhead, Pict holding on to a Christmas light. Wonderful, evocative details.

Man, that was great. You might not like hearing this since I know we disagree a bunch, but there are some genuinely interesting ideas in there to me. Can't wait to see where it goes. Is book 2 out yet?

daw thanks. Book 2 is about a third of the way finished. Will hopefully finish it by September.
Don't let Chud give you shit about spoilers. He already got his.

yes. One of the cats is basically Dragon from NIMH too. That's the two main references I think.

Read through my copy yesterday. Nice job, Burt. I especially like how the world feels more filled out with the little asides involving animals presumably unrelated to the main story.
