Review
I really liked this twist on the Oedipus and Jocaste story/tragedy. It contained very interesting events such as the run in with Laos ghost and Oedipus’s fight against the Sphinx’s enigma, etc. This story really starts off as a sort of comedy before following its tragic end, which was not only interesting but well done.
Quotes
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
