RE: The Allies of Old; Book Two Renewal: Chapter Seventy Two "Fury, Fear, and Feigned Indifference"
I have no problems with Jared saving Anna. Heck, I don't think I have problems with Jared being mad because Anna was reverting back to her old self. But, at this point in Anna's growth, I would've like to see her be the one to save herself. I feel she's ready, and that kind of scenario would be enough to redeem her for me, I think. She would save herself just in time for Jared's arrival. Now, that would've been a great mic drop.
I get why Jared's talking down to her, commanding her like a child, because to him she really is. If she continually reverts back to being childish, then that's how he should treat her. I don't like it, personally, but I get it.
I really like Tyros' trajectory into this. I strongly believe that he's going to get a heroic turn near the end. It's nice that he's able to get the evil out, but come crunch time, I just know that he'll make the right decision.
Patience is not a strong suit for you is it? ;) I know because of how this is being released over a long period of time it's making a difference in how it comes across. Imagine if you got the books all at once and read it the way they were actually intended to be read when I wrote them..I think you wouldn't see it the same. I will say that when characters reach their pivotal points hopefully the impact is that much stronger from the journey it took for them to get there ;).
Haha it actually is :D I feel like I would make a good sniper if it comes down to it haha!
I'm just commenting the way how it's presented. I think it's actually cool having a different reaction like this versus if I read it in one go. This way, people could actually react as they read along. Kind of like those reaction videos on YouTube haha!
Seeing the reactions progress with the story is also fun. It's what I miss most writing a whole book with different chapters haha!
