Ms Diemer has written another of her brilliant and scintillating fairy tales.  I'm buying anything this author produces because every one of them is worth reading.  Her stories combine unusual and intricate plots with well-thought-out characters who develop and grow even in short stories.The change and growth in Meriel as the story progresses is emotional and dramatic.  But it's the unexpected ending that got me.  Ms Deimer's writing reminds me of the best of Poe.  Stories like "Masque of the Red Death" and "Silence a Fable" have the same imaginative lyrical and poetic qualities that Ms Diemer pours into her storytelling.The evolution of Nor's over just a few pages, and the effect she has on Meriel is heart-warming to read, even if the ending is dark and unexpected.  It's a passionate story and I recommend it.
