Description
Anya Vorian wasn't picky. She'd take any apprenticeship that came her way. She, Lori and Andrew had prepared all winter for the interviews, but when only one offer came with her name on it, she suddenly wasn't so sure that she could do it.
It was hard work, for one thing. It was dirty. They were respected, certainly, but in the sort of way that one respects a skilled plumber - grateful to have the job done, but glad it isn't your arms elbow deep in dung. In short, runners were odd folk.
Maybe it was time to get fast.

- BullerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I have to be honest here. This isn't the greatest stuff in the world, but it has a good, above-average standard for nearly everything it does. First off, the characters are great. They make sense when put in relation to the story that they inhabit. It makes them realistic, a trait that is not held with most stories on this platform.
Style is great, albeit with a bit more backstory than I would prefer. Still, it is interesting enough to ignore. And when mixed in with grammar that doesnt make me want to cry, this is all around a good piece of work. 5/5 from me.
