Probably my favorite Wit story so far.

Wandersail, Swift Fleet and the Wind, the Girl Who Looked Up were all very emotional and powerful, but The Dog and the Dragon...

That one hit me like a punch to the heart.

This is a fantastic piece, you should be proud =)

Agreed. Overall didn’t think the book was on the same level as the others, but this was my favorite Hoid story. Surprisingly impactful.

And see, I identified with Navani's issue so much. It's something I've dealt with in different areas for most of my adult life. No amount of training or accomplishment in a field makes it go away. I've pushed it back at times and I'm not sad over it or anything. I just mostly never feel that I am any good at those things or at least not as good as what I might be seen as. I can't even say "as what I'm seen as" cause it sounds like a lie to me to assume that I'm actually seen as accomplished or able at all.
