  An unique slant with engaging chracters and intriguing settings and events. A pleasant diversion from 'life as usual' and well worth the reading! Chrcter deveopmenthowed early promise. Admittedly I'm a sucker for anything dealing with centaurs-- a species I haven'tworked with in my own writing for quite a few years.

  The passion of the author for horses is apparent, there's a certain hilarious ambience in the dialogues that made my day! The illustrations scattered throughout the chapters are lovely and made me smile more than once. In short, it's beyond enjoyable and I appreciate how the quest-reaping equestrian and the author share the same profession.

  I've gotten to read this story several times over. I know its ins and outs, the way Nonce thinks both as a character, and as a writer. He is a mathematician dabbling well into the arts and it's fun seeing things, concepts, that I've never seen or heard of, but while that's not for everyone... Neither is this book. Give it ten, fifteen pages. Set it down, mull it over. Then, give it fifteen more. This is, much like life, an evolving journey, and I look forward to seeing where my Friend takes his characters next.

  I want to front this with the fact that I'm not a perfect writer myself but I am working on it-- but I do have quite a bit to say even still that I hope will help :).
  First of all, the worldbuilding is great, In the stories I've seen I haven't seen anyone who actually has proper maps built for any of their stories and just tries to explain it through words which can be perfectly fine, but for someone like me who is very visual having a representation like that can help understand and get more immersed into worlds that I am unfamiliar with-- especially if its something entirely new like this.
  Less of an actual writing thing and more of a formatting thing, I really like how it's done in that regard. Things don't blend together when they need to be seperated and the formatting of the writing is really smooth and easy to read-- which is something I see some other people struggling with that I have checked out in the past.
  It's also the first time in awhile I've been able to read something and stay captivated, I'm mostly just watching shows and similar things nowadays so it's a breath of fresh air for a piece of writing to keep me hooked.
  Keep doing what you're doing, it's pretty damn good :).

  The background of this world is pretty interesting, the world of Icarus was created as a counterpart to Earth. Everyone on Earth has a counterpart on Icarus that their consciousness is transferred to when they die. The worldbuilding is imaginative with several unique fantasy races.
  One criticism I can give is that it's a bit complex to understand. But if you're willing to put in the effort it's worth your time.

  The world the author created is very captivating and different. A world of fantastical species all living together is very exciting. The premise behind the world might need a bit of explaining, but from what I read, the individuals have a counterpart on Earth that sends them memories and the like. It is an interesting concept that I would enjoy seeing more of.

  I've always been a science fiction fan, and when I discovered this story, it looked interesting. There are a lot of fascinating ideas here. Although there are parts of it that are more on the esoteric side, you'll be in for a thought-provoking experience on mortality, reincarnation, and taur-people.
  The world-building in the prologue is charming, as are the characters throughout the rest of the story. It takes place in a museum that explains Icarus's history and how it formed. Two common pitfalls with exposition in story-telling are (1) it comes off as dull and (2) it makes no narrative sense. Yet both literary traps are side-stepped by explaining the story's universe via a mother and son visiting a museum. Plus, the writing injects humor into the scene for good measure.
  However, the universe the story takes place in is much more involved than the prologue implied. Reading the latter half of the prologue then chapters one through eight, I was confused by what was happening. There were a few points where I felt lost. Unfortunately, this highlights how important context in a story can be. But there were other times when the writing was difficult to follow, so I had to re-read one or more paragraphs to understand what was happening.
  I don't mind this, of course, as it gives me an excuse to go back and look at the artwork. I'm used to stories I read being nothing but text, but I have no complaints when visual aids are part of a book's pages (Aesop's Fables: The Classic Edition comes to mind, thanks to Charles Santore's illustrative touch).
  My biggest gripe is how cerebral the story is. Much of its content assumes the reader is equipped with advanced knowledge to understand jargon involving what I believe to be mathematics. Or is it geometry? Quantum physics?
  But don't let the story's complexity deter you from reading it; Non Sequitur the Equitaur (the author specifically) has potential as a writer. All they need is an editor to polish the writing to be more reader-frien
