Chapter 18:

This was a great chapter with Kate and her reverse giga transformation. The realization that the micro humans were people like her and that her size could affect their world in the most simplest of ways, even to the point where it restricts her greatly, was very good. It was a little impractical but the giant screen that allowed Kate to see the people she’s been interacting with up close so that each one could be personalized was a great idea. It really helped drive Kate’s new perspective of the world home. The problem now is how she’s going to keep herself from cracking under the burden of what she knows. Interacting with the other caretakers is just going to be even harder.

Oh yeah, don’t kill Gary. He’s the mainstay micro human this story needs :p

Chapter 19:

Well who know who must have did you know what if Nicole is already destroying her zones. Amber and Nicole are completely ignorant to Kate’s real feelings and it’s kind of amusing. It’s like Kate is the true adult among ignorant children. I wish Kate could have saved the humans in the container she had. Like pretend she was going to play with them in private and then bring them into her zone. But I guess with the stress she was under from just being with them it didn’t cross her mind.

The zone destruction didn’t really do anything for me. I guess that was the point but even if it had more detail and was “sexy” I probably would have been more pissed off at Nicole anyway or maybe not. More like this is awesome, but fuck you Nicole. Eh, I guess it wasn’t the interaction I wanted but within the context of the story it made sense. It did make me think that even if Nicole found out the truth it would make her worse. She already likes to control and manipulate things. What’s better than controlling the lives of millions? 

And again don't kill Gary.

I understand the immense guilt Kate must feel because of what she has done in the past, even though it technically wasn’t her fault. The thing that annoys me, and it’s not really a complaint, is that you were so close with ending this chapter on a good note, instead of a bitter-sweet one with Kate breaking down in her room at the end. You may feel like you’re running out of ideas about how the gigas can interact with the micro humans, but Kate’s zone coming together to reassure her was great and using the monitor they set up to see the individual people was a nice touch, it made me smile.

Finally good to know what the 3/5ths rule meant and how it came to be. While Erica may be the mastermind behind the current way uTopia is ran, the way Rachel explained it made it seem like another party was involved with how the facility starting opening up to them once the 3/5ths rule was laid down. Maybe things will be made clear since Rachel can brainstorm with the former caretakers in Kate’s zone. It amused me that Erica wasn’t adept with technology before the shutdown happened. A century with nothing to do but read would make anyone smart.  I wonder how Nicole is going to take being seen in a lesser light than Kate now.

Also I don’t mind long chapters, it’s usually worth the wait. 

Amber is such a pathetic little person. All she really cares about in the end is having “fun” with her micros. All her plans depend on her micro’s develop to a point where she can use some of them to snort up her nose, or pleasure herself, or whatever else she’s thinking about in that simple mind of hers. And I can’t even blame her since she was raised to think that way, which makes it even sadder.

I think being immigrated was the best thing that could have happened to Rachel. She may not be living in a paradise but it has to be better than living with crazy women trying to play goddess at the end of the world. 

OK story but ending felt rushed and ended up sending a very narrow misanthropic message. 

Nice to see this continuing! Sadly Nephila’s distain for her own kind is unwarranted even though it is a realistic development for her. Curious to see where this goes. 

Sometimes Michael feels smaller than he actually is with the way you describe things. A spear long enough to impale 40 cargo ships? You sure Michael isn’t micro size?   

I’m also going to assume Athena did experiment on Nephila to make her naturally used to Atlantian level gravity so her own home world gravity would feel light.

And actually feel sorry for the two Nibiru that Nephila attacked. I can see why that obsession is a double edged sword. Nephila’s mind goes on auto-pilot and she runs on instinct. It could get her and Michael killed.

The Nibiru language does kind of sound like gibberish.

I find it hard to believe that one girl acquired such a huge following for Nephilia based on a single meeting. 

Ironic that this chapter is called perspective when Aviel is deaf and blind to anything but society drivel. Outside of that, the plot is definitely thickening and I'm very curious what the deal is with Manchent. I expected Sanders to fall into the ressitance but this is much better. 

Unless the scouts carry recording gear on their person, it’s going to be hard to prove that Lutice’s squad was at fault for the confrontation that led to Sanders getting “killed”, especially with Sanders actually being alive. While I understand their rage, going in guns blazing isn’t going to help make their case at all. I have a feeling the leaders are going to end up siding with the swords because of it.

What is interesting me more is Fionne’s backstory. I don’t think she was cloned. And Morgan might know more into how fairies are really created.  

Also, first!

Nice an early update!

This chapter was awesome and even more emotional than the last one. Angela is still a bitch and really don’t know how she became a Matriarch. I almost felt sorry for Aviel until the last third of the chapter when she made a complete face-heel turn. Still part of me hopes she is doing all this to make her loyalty to the Society as legitimate as possible and that she knows that the Society is corrupt on some level, but couldn’t do anything about it at her minuscule size. I also don’t know if she expected Pyrra to save Sanders or if she really was just being as cruel as possible. Wishful thinking since as much as I disliked Aviel’s attitude on things I didn’t want her to go all evil.

I feel for Sanders the most, though. He lost two close friends with one being his enemy now. He has very few people he can turn to. Fionne will be fed Society lies and believe he is dead. He’s probably going to join the resistance due to his hatred for the Society. Could he even go back to his family and tell them what happened? Probably would be too risky.

Excellent and emotional chapter all around. Can’t wait to see what else is in stored. 

The plot thickens....

And what's up with the lack of chapter names now? :p
