I also had the same feeling: both Rowan and Demetrius want Galen as the best friend. I think Demetrius know something big about Rowan and his family. That may be the reason he doesn't keep Rowan very close. But at the same time, I feel that both of them admire each other too.Bits Of Inkling wrote: โ10 Oct 2020, 12:10 I've finished the 3rd book.

Demi doesn't trust Rowan and I don't quite understand that. He doesn't seem to change even after they learned about Rowan's family.

That's true. I would also love to see them get along well. But I have a feeling thay they are a bit jealous of each other. Demetrius have magic powers that Rowan doesn't and he's improving. On the other hand, Rowan has an attractive personality and he's talkative. I think they are worrying about what they lack, and are afraid that Galen would be more close to the other one.Bits Of Inkling wrote: โ11 Oct 2020, 11:16Yeah.

Meanwhile, Rowan is a carefree person. No matter how bad Demetrius treats him, he doesn't really take it to heart. Their banter is good-natured, too, so I don't think Rowan hates Demi. Keep reading and you will see how important Rowan will be to Demetrius .

Wow, when you explain it like this, I started seeing it too. Little by little, their relationship is growing! And the Demetrius' jealousy, that's obvious. At the same time I feel that Rowan's a bit jealous too, for the magical powers Demetrius possesses. I must continue reading and see your words become true.Sou Hi wrote: โ11 Oct 2020, 21:28 I think their relationship is progressing solidly, though. In book #1, Demetrius enjoys seeing Rowan get hurt (per Galen's belief). But they are more open to each other in book #2. Then they start sharing their opinions in book #3. Demi even goes to Rowan's old room to know more about its owner, like a friend would do when they visit each other's house. It's more like Demetrius is jealous of Rowan, because Rowan seems to have everything he wants with ease. And if Demetrius truly hates or distrusts Rowan in a negative way, he wouldn't tell Rowan to treasure his bow.

Yes, anyone would want to have Demetrius' power , especially when he keeps growing stronger. And starting from book #4, Rowan and Demetrius' relationship will be clearly portrayed, as they both have their shares of the story. We will get to see their emotions ourselves and not through Galen's view.Claire Riddle wrote: โ12 Oct 2020, 06:54Wow, when you explain it like this, I started seeing it too.

Yes. Even I'd love to be as powerful as Demetrius!

I agree with you! I felt like they were starting to see each other on the same side. And their pokes were just a habit by now, as they don't really hate each other. They might not be best friends, but they became allies.plnjimenez wrote: โ14 Oct 2020, 11:47On the contrary, I felt that in this third book, they started to slightly warm up to each other.

They will . From book #4 on, Rowan and Demetrius will have more chances to cooperate with each other. Can't say they are saving the day, but their contributions are significant for the sake of the Voulhirian.

For me, I think the 3 of them will get along quite well in other series. If you noticed, Demi and Rowan were cool with each other during their visit to Soulhire.Bits Of Inkling wrote: โ10 Oct 2020, 12:10 I've finished the 3rd book.

True, Demi and Rowan started out a bit hostile to each other, vying for Galen's attention, and a bit of jealousy on both sides for different reasons. They do work well together, that much is obvious, and quite important, and the way they poke at each other, well, that adds spice to the story.emidio125 wrote: โ14 Oct 2020, 13:16 I agree with you and I like the way there characters were built. It is their usual conflicts that makes their participation in the story no boring et all. But from the third book on, since they got to meet each other more deeply, I think their relationship will be more amiable.
