Buckle up for the ride because it just got intense. The opening paragraph was exciting, anger issues is an understatement. Jacob must control himself or he may cause harm to those he didn’t want to. We will see where he takes this and how he will ensure the family doesn’t know where Blaire is or how he can protect her from their reach.
You did it again in great fashion switching scenes quickly while it was intense to have the reader wanting more but again needing to read more about Jinshin and Ben. Great transition to the other characters’ perspective and them living their own lives.
To read that Ben not speaking to her makes her emotionally distraught is further proof she has feelings for him more than just a gift from her master and Deita can read her well.
Jinshin just being calm and unaffected in her approach to this conversation with Deita is interesting and shows her mental instability and understanding of these shrunken individuals as still being a person who had their own lives and dreams is telling. Deita again does not disappoint as she is so cold toward how she will end the life of another human being just as another treat to be disposed of and forgotten like all the other treats she has eaten in her life such as the meal she just had and will forget about it the next few days. These shrunken individuals are no longer human in her eyes but rather just items or property to be dealt with in her own way. Cold callus and uncaring.
As for Jinshin and her feeling she is trying to cope with and understand is not very dissimilar to Jacob’s feelings toward Blaire.
I am enjoying learning more about Jacob as we move through this chapter. It is enlightening and gives you pause at the dislike of his character causing you as a reader to give a cautious empathy nod towards him. I can say I was shocked at the knowledge of more reading more of the extent of Jacobs abilities. Very interesting and opens many doors that were not expected.
There are so many cliff hangers in this chapter that the makes the reader anxious for the next.
Will Deita follow through with her promise and end Liz’s life in the fashion she described, we know she will soon have more than enough victims to pull from and replacing Liz seems to sadly not bother her in the least. The sad part is how life had dealt Liz a bad hand and then she was shrunken and gifted to this evil woman.
How will Jinshin deal with her growing misunderstood feeling for Ben, and will she follow through with giving him what he asked for or will she find a way to deny him this request? Interesting, and excited to see where we end up with this.
The newfound knowledge of Jacob’s history and a peek into the extent of his abilities keeps our suspense heightened.
Dissecting this story chapter by chapter has been enjoyable and rewarding. I hope my small review of each chapter helps in some fashion.
I hope you understand that you have something here and it is becoming one of the best series available to read.
