Okay! Light, heavy, bright, dim, funny, sad…. It was a fun read and a great fantasy!
I can easily see such a relationship developing, and even envision two people successfully making a life together across such a wide age gap. However, I question the wisdom of a child born in one’s mid-50s. Assuming he lives that long, he’ll be approaching 80 by the time that child graduates from university. There are an awful lot of ways for the tale to end badly for the child, even if everyone is doing things right. It’s just a story, and not mine, but I would not choose to send characters down this path. Still, 5 stars.
@Anonymous 1 I'm close to seventy, and I'm not doing that bad. But yes, this only works because of *her* age.
