...VMA, you constantly amaze me with the quality of your stories and the amazing personalities of your characterizations.
As for analmousie, pity them.
As they have no self-comprehension of the pointlessness of their comments or for that matter, their lives.
It's getting better with each page. I love a good story that knows how grow.
... and I can't wait for the next installment. Please don't keep us waiting too long.
I don't really like the fantasy elements, it simply adds nothing to the core story aside from serving as a distraction, it feels out of place, this story doesn't really feel an urban fantasy story because there is so little background about it, nothing of significance about the how or why people have special abilities, or what influence it has on society.
Mind you, I'm an avid fantasy reader, I just think it was the wrong decision to add fantasy elements to this story, since it has absolutely nothing to do with the core story except adding some possible emotional shortcuts for Megan, that she seems to shy away from so they end up not mattering at all, the story could have progressed exactly the same without her abilities.
If they don't work for you, so be it. While A similar pet play / love story could well have been written without those elements. But that would not have been THIS story, in which they are part of the plot. They become even more important in parts seven and eight.
No, there is nothing simple about it, except for the love part, but then again, that's the most complicated simple thing in the universe :/
