I am enjoying the book so far. It started with action, and I love the magic aspect of it.

It's good! I'm taking it a chapter a day though so I've just finished Chapter 4. So far, I like the writing. The magic reminds me of Katara from Aang the last Avatar. :D
What do you think of Ana and Ramson so far?

I am about to start chapter 11.
Indeed! It does sound like that Avatar, now that you mention it.
I have read that Ana is supposed to be re-retelling of Anastasia. I like Ana. Ramson is a complicated character. I didn't like him at first, but he grew up on me.

So far, I'm more curious about him than Ana. There were so many reveals on Ana already.gali wrote:Ramson is a complicated character. I didn't like him at first, but he grew up on me.
I love the little bumps/problems they've had in the book. It adds to the world-building and also exposes more about their personality.

Great! I am in chapter 21 and I enjoy it very much.
I liked the twist too!
Ramson is growing up on me, and I love his wit. Ana is too temperamental and I want to shake her now and then. I really like the concept of Affinities, the flow is great, and the writing is smooth.

It feels like there will be romance between the two. But, I hope it'll be believable.gali wrote: ↑29 Mar 2020, 13:56Great! I am in chapter 21 and I enjoy it very much.

True! I just get the feeling from Ramson that he was affected by Ana so much. He's not his usual self. But, I'm not sure Ana will feel the same about him.

I also like how Ana is protective of May. I hope the later chapters will show more of their bond.

Wow! Congratulations!
I'm just at the middle, Chapter 21! It's all so fast.
I loved the fight scene! Intense, emotional. I really hope Ana learns to control it because she's really strong. I like that she's not too good at it yet, though. Or that she suddenly becomes good at it. Makes it more of a good story, right?
And god, that friendly intimate scene after was wonderful. It's like a pledge. I really hope it won't turn into mushy love story.

It was a good story, and I plan to read the sequel.
