The latest issue of Beneath Ceaseless Skies is not afraid to get grim. Both stories are heavy tragedies, where torture is not uncommon and where both main characters find themselves drawn in directions they’re not supposed to go. One toward a lover it’s illegal to be with. Another toward a sea she’s been forever denied. Both of them finding ways to get around the restrictions, but both of them also paying a terrible price for it. These are not easy stories, and not cheery ones, for all they are linked by people reaching for love and belonging, finding only the rushing release of water and sorrow. So let’s get to the reviews!
