"What the hell am I reading" is how I could sum up my review of this "love story fiction" involving foxes and otters. If I get everything and trust me you have to follow! Writing is terrible, anyone who picks a random page will agree; it all looks like the author is a 12 years old who might have read some comic, but never read a single book. On the story... I don't know what to say. It's just superficial, boring, and uninspired at a point I feel bad for the author. After a few pages, if you keep reading it; I have to salute the effort. So I'm gonna develop : It's like a quick made comic, where you don't have any picture. I think the goal was to really count on the person's imagination but without an effort on the writing, scenes that makes you go "what". I can't really find anything positive, skipping entire blocks of line and dialogs like "Hey!" and "Samki grinned". There's no action, no suspense or nothing developed about the characters. It's so empty at a point it's hilarous. Especially for sentences like "It's hard not having enough computer time!" you know the author just wrote a book from a mashup of online conversation with his facebook friends. The cover is funny, that's the only thing which save this book. It also sums it up in one single picture.

I first stumbled across the stories on Kyell Gold's profile on a website. I was instantly hooked. This was back when the book was first published and I was having troubles accepting my sexuality. I felt a lot like Kory had, but without the mother issue. It's because of this book that I have grown to love myself and my lifestyle. I read this book once or twice a year, and every time I enjoy it just as much as the first time I read it! Simply outstanding. 5 stars!

I had come across this in a free kindle story on my kindle touch and i was touched by the relationship between kory and samaki. they remind me of me and my bf, Kyuna. that and i was amazed by kory's poem near the end of Aquifers, it was beautiful. if any straight muscleheads see this, ive got this to say:im not ashamed of who i am and im not afraid of anything.
