I understand that the two have different views and beliefs. But even Galen saw the world differently and that never been an issue to each of them. Sometimes I felt like they are competing for Galen like who's going to be the best friend between them. 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.

I am really waiting for them to be great friends.

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.

Yeah. But he knew Rowan wanted to be far from his home. Perhaps, there is something going on in his family that Rowan doesn't quite like. If Demi would see that he is sincere, deep friendship might be possible for the.

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.

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.

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.

On the contrary, I felt that in this third book, they started to slightly warm up to each other. With the upcoming struggles, I am expecting their relationship to improve.

But from the third book on, since they got to meet each other more deeply, I think their relationship will be more amiable.
