This is amazing, with the Horsa glider with its D Day paint and the Little Joe crossbow and the map of the Caen bridges in the background. Hev, you have outdone yourself. I LOVE this so much. It's beautiful, it's PERFECT and it wonderfully captures the story. Thank you. I am humbled and honored that you did this for me.

These are absolutely beautiful! I haven't had a chance to read yet, but it will happen, and I LOVE the symbolism here. So gorgeous. :)

Wonderful job of describing the story with such simple yet powerful visuals. These actually remind me of teaser posters for a film, if the story could really have been a movie. :-)

Fabulous, creative, and judicious image choices.

I looked at these before reading the story and after reading the story, and using the words I used to describe the story, but these are honestly too perfect for words. Brilliant work!

These are really neat! I like the sort of symbolic nature of the images, and their superimposition on the maps is a brilliant touch.

I really, really love these two pieces. Original, unexpected, symbolic... IMO, there needs to be more fanart like this. What awesome bookcovers these would make...

Oh! I really like these. :) Deceptively simple, and great visuals for the story!

Hev, these are GORGEOUS. I purposefully made myself wait until I'd finished reading to take a look, and the build up just made it even more awesome.

From your reply to rth, And knowing your relationship with visuals, it didn't feel right to throw faces on the characters. So I decided what I needed to do was strip the story down to its essence and try to capture that symbolically rather than a more literal manifestation.
I love love love this, I love that it looks to the story rather than the specific characters, it fits so well with rth's explanation of how real all this was and that it's an insertion of Narnia and of Susan and Peter and Co. into this real story, not the other way around. So gorgeous, and so fitting!

Hah! Brilliant images, they capture it exactly. I can tell, because they've moved into my mind as the icons of the story. Well done!
