UnStrung Reviews

3.5
“Good short story filling in Lev's time line before he got to The Graveyard and the camp Happy Jack.”
“If you wondered what happened to Lev between leaving CyFi and getting to the Graveyard, this is the tale. Giving another perspective on the world of Unwind, this tale expands the world even more. Lev meets up with a Tribe of the Nations, who did not ratify the Bill of Life and therefore harbors AWOLs, Lev experiences even further questions about the unwind culture. A nice story that gives you more information on Lev and whT became of him.”
