-"Until the Moss Has Reached Our Lips," Issue 163 of Beneath Ceaseless Skies
- Review: "a very grim story, a story about loss, exile, punishment. It is a chilling story, but also a moving one, and one that is gorgeously written, as lyrical as it is bleak, and overall stunningly beautiful, emphatically among the best Fantasy I read in 2014."
