First, Kudos on a fun story with twists and turns and a hell of a resolution!

    Well, as of yesterday I'd decided Danny really had to die to make the story land properly. Nobody goes to hell and comes back unchanged.


He did pretty well in his chapter, I thought... shut down the villains gloating and proved his devotion nicely. It was a sweet note, for all that a hell-bound tale could end on. I will say I was hoping for one last moment where that de Soth girl realized how badly things had turned on her, but then I always like to see the knife twist on these superior gloating types. Grimpenghast certainly provided more than a few good moments of that, so I wasn't left wanting for much.

It was a clever resolution to the problem with Danny being stuck in hell. I don't really approve of marriages to get a green card, but I suppose their history shows that it's not just convenience. Of course, nobody likes to see a college girl get married before earning her degree, especially to a boyfriend from hell.

This would really be the best of times for a Dancer written tie-in. At least Ma Shepherdson still has Sarah and/or Karl to provide the traditional church-wedding-then-grandkids ideal. I'll be sure to be standing behind the grandkids I provided when meeting them at the airport.
