I love the way this is written. The tree seems to have an air of wisdom which I believe truly emulates how trees age and how they see all that is around them with a clear vision but you've also given it some bias so that it can have an opinion. the character development for not only the tree but for Mia especially in the beginning chapters shines through as you learn more about them. Overall I have really enjoyed reading this and recommend it to others. Good job. keep working hard!
Very well written story! Beautiful and lively description,the details of history are respected! We learn new thing each chapter. The story is quite deep and pass on two timeline. The character are lovable and relatable in their fault. Really a lovely story. With a great concept. Loved it. The balance between direct dialogue and indirect is well written . Quite sad and Melancholic thought.
