I didn't like how the children were born and never knew their parents. I also didn't like how short the story is. They could've made it longer and shown their life in the house from the Unmentionable Times and their life with their son.

I liked how the story built up. The drama and action was just the right amount, not too little, not too much. I loved the characters and the role of the Councils in the society. I liked how they all had specific homes for their jobs and certain activities. The part I liked the most was the organization of everything.
