Review of Bound North

I truly loved this story. I’m honestly amazed at how much depth, emotion, and history you managed to carry in so few words. Every detail feels intentional, and together they create a vivid, lived-in world without ever feeling rushed or heavy.

Amos is beautifully realized. His quiet fear, hope, and dignity come through so clearly that it’s impossible not to root for him. The train station scene is especially strong—the sensory details pulled me right into the moment and grounded the larger themes of freedom, loss, and possibility.

What struck me most is the restraint in your storytelling. You let the moments speak for themselves, and because of that, the ending lands with such grace and power. It’s hopeful without being sentimental, and deeply moving without ever needing to shout.

This is a gorgeous piece of storytelling—elegant, economical, and emotionally resonant. Thank you for sharing it.

Kind wishes,
Tee
