Requirements & Requests

To give honest, constructive feedback. I love this idea, as most with their novels, but I've never been the best with writing, and I am an autistic writer, so I struggle with telling instead of showing a lot as I think very literally and struggle with emotion in my writing. So honesty concerning that is important to me.

Comparable Stories:

Belladonna by Adalyn Grace, The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten, The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni and a video game called Strange Horticulture.

Trigger Warnings:

Nothing in this first chapter, but will include some down the line. For now, the only potential trigger is the talk about poison.
