I'm not generally a dramionie shipper but I kept seeing manacled refrenced everywhere and well . . . now that ive been ABSOLUTELY GUTTED by it I just cant seem to focus on anything else.
Manacled has a way of getting under your skin and staying there. I wasnt sure if I would care for it by the end even as I was reading it but I could stop myself from reading on and now that I'm done I must say it was 100% worth it.
The way the stroy was masterfully crafted and you can tell how much though and planning the author put into it is just beautiful. It's one of those pieces of literature that makes you think deeply about love and life and right and wrong and actions and consequences and the way the world views all of those those things. It presents the characters with impossible circumstances and choices and even if they aren't doing "good" you somehow still know they're doing everything they can to do right. Even if only to each other.
I had seen the last line quoted around while reading it but the context it was finally presented in totally changed what I thought the line meant and it was absolutely gut wrenching in the most satisfying way.
One of the darkest things I've ever read. But also one of the most compeling.
