I prefer this to the first installment, it has a little more context and explanation, whilst still staying very open-ended…
A very strong tone here as well, the dialogue isn’t just realistic, it shows us the characters rather than tells us about them, which is, to put it frankly, masterful!
That said, throwing a bit more movement and action in there could have made for a better balance…
No question that I’ll be reading on if you continue though! MH :)
