This was a phenomenal chapter, especially the Amber and Rebecca segments!

One thing that stuck out to me in those segments was the real reason why Amber is so rough on Rebecca most of the time. Last chapter, I thought that it was because she thinks Rebecca is better than her and can't admit it to herself, which I still think is part of it. But now, with Amber getting irritated with Rebecca even when the tiny isn't viciously verbally going after her, it seems clear to me that a lot of Amber's behavior is guided by frustration rather than anger.

Frustration at what? Why unrequited feelings, of course.

I'm not sure if Amber is fully aware of it, but she's in love with Rebecca. Her worldview when it comes to tinies and spoiled upbringing make her a bit confusing for everyone else (but especially Rebecca) to read. But Amber shows little signs once in a while that Rebecca is really important to her; it's just almost impossible for Rebecca to see it, what with the punishments and the demeaning language directed at her.

We saw the most obvious example of Amber's feelings in this chapter, though. When Amber asked Rebecca if the she wanted Amber to lick her pussy for a change, to me, it was clear that she offered this because she wanted to make Rebecca feel good. I don't want to call this a peace offering, but Amber was definitely trying to be nice to Rebecca here. But Amber doesn't deal with rejection well, and she either didn't consider or didn't care that, even if Rebecca wanted that, she was too worn out for it. Granted Amber didn't punish her for saying no, and the two of them took a nap together, which is always sweet.

But I feel like this directly led to Amber feeling agitated at Rebecca simply for looking out at the ocean and enjoying a moment to herself, not even trying to bother Amber. Amber wants to be closer to Rebecca, and the fact that she can't get there eats away at her, something she misidentifies as Rebecca annoying her and thus takes out on her.

As for Rebecca, I'm liking how subtle her own feelings have manifested themselves over the last few chapters. She keeps realizing that Amber is more and more like her than she ever realized. They're both into soccer. They both like to travel. They both decided young that they didn't want to get married. They both hate the boring, hollow life that Amber's currently living. She sees a lot of herself in Amber, which is why I think, even though she hits the giant pretty hard with the insults, she tries to help Amber, too. That's why the advice always resonates with Amber, too, like the college advice in this chapter. She's proud of Amber when she does stuff like earn a starting spot on the soccer team. She cares about Amber, but she, too, can't admit it.

Honestly, I think that's why her words pack so much bite when she goes after Amber. Every time Amber calls her a slave or treats her like she's a toy, it feels like a betrayal, even though Amber has always been that way. Deep down, she sees the type of person Amber could be, probably should be, and being "put in her place" by Amber cuts deeper than she's willing to let herself acknowledge.

I think a lot of this culminated in the scene where they dealt with the beach vendor. Amber's frustrations made her take that ocean view away from Amber (that "oops" when she closed her hand was hilarious, by the way; how do you even pretend to accidentally do that?). She was trying to "put Rebecca in her place" like she always claims she wants to do. But we saw in this scene that this isn't what she really wants to do to Rebecca at all.

It was pretty clear from the start of the vendor haggling over Rebecca that Amber isn't the least bit serious about trading her for the bracelet. She exaggerates her tone to make it obvious to Rebecca that she was mocking the fact that she's considered property on the island, not trying to scare her. But scare her she did. This is the first time that Amber actually succeeded in "putting Rebecca in her place."

And it felt terrible for Amber.

She felt so guilty once she saw that Rebecca wasn't defiant, the thing she kept saying was pissing her off, what she said she wanted to take away from the tiny. Instead, Rebecca was terrified at the prospect of becoming a real slave. The way this hits Amber (which is described fantastically, by the way) shows that even just scaring Rebecca, "putting her in her place," was the last thing she really wanted to do.

And I loved Amber's passion once she realized this and cut the teasing out. She was firm that there would be no deal, and she was actually disgusted when the vendor offered her two tinies (who would probably be way less resistant than Rebecca). That "Fuck off" was powerful. I kind of feel like she was upset that the vendor wanted to treat Rebecca like that. She didn't say anything like that, but that's just the vibe I got here.

Amber trying to play off her feelings by calling Rebecca a wimp, yet reassuring the tiny, in her own way, that wasn't going to go through with any deal like that, was a very Amber thing to do. She's maturing quite a bit before our eyes, but she still struggles to deal with her emotions (which makes sense; I mean, have you met her mom?!). And letting Rebecca have her view back, which helped calm Rebecca down, was a sweet way to end the segment (I love the symmetry here with starting the segment with Amber blocking the view in frustration and anger and ending it this way).

Also, I enjoyed the vendor scene calling back to the first segment, when Amber rubs in Rebecca's face that she's just considered a piece of property on the island. This was a clever little thing to slip in so early in the chapter. Oh, and that sandcastle scene? So much fun! And yeah, it's Amber being a little nasty here (although, again, this came after Rebecca's harsh words), but I sort of felt like Amber was just having fun with Rebecca, too. She just doesn't realize how Rebecca sees things at her size (kind of like keeping her locked in the drawer with the socks in the tropical heat, which, yes, could have killed Rebecca).

But maybe the most interesting tidbit in the whole chapter was Amber telling Rebecca that Donnica and she weren't always so well off. Rebecca dismissed it, but I wouldn't be stunned to learn that Donnica went through some hard times when Amber was really young. That might explain Donnica's endless pursuit of power and need to feel like she's above everybody, especially tinies. Maybe nobody helped her out when she needed it most, and that led to a hatred of weakness in her heart. That's all pure speculation on my part, but I'm willing to bet those early days come up again at some point.

Speaking of Donnica, I had a slightly different view of her in this chapter than some other people did, based on the reviews I saw for this chapter. I get why people feel like Trevor is in big trouble here and that Donnica is becoming a lost cause, but that's not how I saw her behavior this chapter. Yes, it was bad. Yes, the influence of her friends is pulling her deeper into her darker urges (although having actually killed those tinies at the restaurant a few chapters back probably made that easier, too). But there was one line here that makes me think Donnica is ultimately going to come out of this on Trevor's side rather than that of her friends:

He would had no choice but to obey. Deep down, she knew he loved it, and eventually, after enough time, he would accept it. He would come to understand that this was his role, his station in life... to serve her, to worship her.

Donnica legitimately loves Trevor. Whatever else you want to say about her, this is clearly true. She's willing to forge those documents, take away his freedom, and never let him work again because she thinks he'll ultimately be happier for it. Yeah, selfishly, she wants him all to herself too, but she truly believes he'll come to love it that way.

He won't, though.

Donnica wants Trevor to be happy. She doesn't want to make him suffer like she does all the other tinies. That's key here. If Trevor becomes spiteful and bitter toward her or becomes a broken slave, it will destroy Donnica.

Like Amber with Donnica, Donnica thinks she wants to stamp out that rebellious attitude in Trevor, but she'll hate herself if she succeeds. Hell, that rebellious attitude is a part of the reason she loves him!

So it might be before they leave the island, with Trevor still being traumatized by Victoria achieving serial-killer status. It could be when they're back in the states and Donnica starts to go through with her doomed plan. It could be at some unforeseen point later in the story. But at some point, Donnica is going to recognize that something is wrong with Trevor, and I'm thoroughly convinced that this is going to turn the tide for her, at least when it comes to Trevor (I don't see her giving up on trying to enslave all tinies anytime soon or maybe ever).

I don't think I said this enough in my last review, so I'll say it again: Fuck Victoria! I do think the lead up to that vore scene (have you considered adding a vore tag to the story? This is a really good vore scene from the giantess's perspective) was really good. The backstory with Lucia, that she stole a man from Victoria in college sounded solid, and Victoria is definitely the type of person to hold a grudge. But to swerve us and have her not even care about that but instead be upset, after all these years, over some dumb joke about her chewing with her mouth open?! Jesus Christ is this woman unbearably spiteful! She's fucking evil! Yeah, her friends laughing at her eating Lucia is pretty terrible too, but they at least think she's doing this to a man-stealer. They probably wouldn't have even bothered to buy Lucia if they knew why Victoria was so mad at her. It's just so ... petty.

But again, that vore scene was so well done! You made it so suspenseful, drawing out the part before Lucia made it into Victoria's mouth rather than trying to overdescribe all the tongue movements from Victoria's perspective. And the little details, like Victoria moving her jaw slightly as she drew out Lucia's frantic efforts to escape and that exaggeratedly slow swallow, fuck! That shit was hot!

Now, if only you could catch the shrinking virus by eating tinies. Then this scene would be perfect!

Lastly, and as always, you did a masterful job here of selling the giants size, especially with the mothers. All the goddess speak hasn't gotten old for me at all yet (I never considered that to be something I was particularly into, but fuck if I'm not into it here!). Those parts are just masterfully written!

So yeah, great work! I'm so invested into seeing where you take things next with our four protagonists.

Well Victoria has really proved herself a monster. From the way she treats her daughter, to what she just did. She needs a comeuppance.

     As for amber she really needs a wake up. It’s good she realized that she wants Rebecca but now, something needs to happen for her to realize she actually gives damn.

     I don’t know if amber can ever treat rebecca As an equal, but she can come to really love her.

    I really liked both of their scenes. Both the sand castle, that was fun and creative. If you don’t mind I may steal that idea for my story. I also liked the merchant scene. It both showed the cruelness of the world and the growing feelings in amber.  I also loved that talk they had where amber told her that she might be alone for awhile. I loved that Rebecca had a realization that she and amber had at least a few things in common. 

     I love that amber does play with her tiny, after all a tiny is meant to be played with. Just she needs to learn to be playful not malicious. Help Rebecca come to have fun playing back. It’s one of the reasons I liked the sandcastle, it could have been fun for both, and an honest bonding experience.

also was wondering how long do u think this story will be.

Rebecca seems to slowly but surely getting through to Amber and maybe making her a better person for the future.

Not sure what kind of future with her mother about but a future none the less.
