When I saw that this would be the story of Phineas and Brynley, I have to admit I wasn’t excited. Phineas, though quite a characters, has always struck me as very immature. And Brynley is prickly. BUT … I actually liked it. There was better characterization in this story than I’ve seen in many of […]
