I've never read the book in question, but wow. This was awesome. I really enjoy this world and the way that Rachel and Quinn fit into it. Reformed!Quinn almost breaks my heart because she's so different and subdued and trained, but Rachel is giving a command performance in her own life and this is just tragically beautiful, with a little dash of hope. I'm so glad they're escaping together and in case you hadn't gotten it from my overflowing praise for this brilliant piece, I would love to see you continue with them. :D
