I JUST FINISHED READING THIS!! It's manal!! I want to apologize first because i started reading it earlier this week, then got busy and had to wait until the weekend for me to absorb it. This is a story that i knew i needed some brainpower to take in (thanks to your genius writing that i'm going to talk more about), and because the plot and the setting sounded interesting that i had to make sure i collect the clues too T-T
i'll start with your writing style. this could sound a bit odd, maybe, but your writing really really tells more about you as a person. Like, just reading a few paragraphs at first made me go "yeah, this is Elif" because you have such unique style and descriptions you cater to that make the setting stand out. and this is of course meant as a compliment. you focus on senses when you describe the character's emotions/attitude and what they're going through in every part of the story. I think it's incredibly well done because i am a Big fan of how you use the description in aid to the narration. it's like they go hand in hand in your stories, and not all writers can say that. Of course i don't claim to know better or that i'm an expert, but i just wanted you to know i personally love it and enjoy your descriptions. it's definitely one of your many strong points!!! TT
This was one of my favourite lines: --"At times dirt covers the vision; sometimes as light as a smudge, things that refract light to dazzling rainbows, and other times it’s so black that it blots out the world at that very spot." the line is going to live in my head for some time. there's something very satisfying about how you described light using the words -smudge and rainbows- two contradicting words that give such a nice image. like i'm seriously in Awe how you came up with such a description.
and this line: --"I lie there for quite some time, and eventually push myself up. I'm alone, but not for long. It’ll be the last time that I will ever feel pain. The very last time I am denied what I want.
I am Hakan." this was such a nice way of delivery the punchline. i'm in LOVE.
AS FOR THE STORY, i really enjoyed it!!! hakan is so messed up, i quite love him :") esen and freya kinda tore my heart even though we only see their relationship here in scarce subtelties and mostly through Hakan. the creepy aspect of the storytelling really shone through the narration and the way the characters interacted. the ending was crazy!!!! i do wonder if Shifting ino Esen counts as a punishment for Hakan, or smth he's just going to have to live with it, such a great open ending :")
you're sooooo great and your writing is so sexy! i hope you keep writing, thanks for sharing ily <3
hakan is sooooo crazy <3 luv him
