Hope it's okay that I revived this one, it was one of many I listened to on the way to the TNEO workshop this year, and I enjoyed it a lot. Was chatting about it with a writer friend yesterday who listened to it last year.
The one thing I'm most curious is which came first out of two parts of the premise, in this world. Did the abandonment of 'El Dios Tacaño' happen first, and then people learned how to redirect the almas into new bodies from new necessity, giving rise to the 'custodios de alma'? Or did mortals learn the forbidden secrets of redirecting souls first, and that was what prompted the abandonment?
