Praise for Just Anaz
A surprisingly touching short story of a boy who's lost himself, and the girl who helps him remember what redemption really means.

A very cool, thought provoking fantasy tale
A very cool and thought provoking fantasy tale! The writing is gritty and visceral at once while exploring the question of finding inner peace. Paperback seems well made and the artwork is lovely, spattered throughout every 4 pages or so. The world and characters introduced in this story make one curious what other stories they might hold. I already recommended and lent to a friend but look forward to reading it again.
