>> "Their Blood Is Upon Them" was my favorite: beautiful and candid without being preachy; as if to say, "This is what happened - make your judgement on it." <<

Thank you! That matter-of-fact approach is typical of the series. It's one way of making phantasmagoric stuff seem plausible.

>> I love the historical setting and Fiorenza's practical veiw of the world around her. <<

Yay! Historical settings are fun because they create such a strong sense of time and place, helping make different series unique.

>> I liked the treatment of the Priest, and his inability to be outright-hateful of Timoteo, mearly constrained by his beliefs. <<

Don Candido is a very complicated man. He can be very compassionate, but damn has he got a temper.

>> Overall, this was a still, quiet tale and the blank verse seemed to almost give it a dispassionate, distant quality which was a good contrast the highly-emotional subject. Very elegant :D Good job :D Congrats! ^-^ <<

Thanks. I write a lot of free verse, because it fits anything. This series also has some Italian poetic forms scattered throughout.
