Oh my gosh this is back! When I got the email for this, my first thought was "noooooo" as the story came back to me, and I'm very excited to read this new first chapter and continue with the story!
I really wish you would update soon! I don't know if you're still active on Mibba, but I really miss this story! The way it's written, what it's about, and on and on and on. There's so much good in this story and I'd really love to read more!
(Just as a warning I'm going to use the word love a lot probably to the point it loses all meaning.) First off, I've absolutely loved this story from the beginning. I love Katie - she's so stubborn and kind and kind-of naive - and I love to hate (but not really) Nikola - he's so... aggravating sometimes! I love your writing style and I am probably going to literally flip a table in excitement whenever you update this again - and I do hope you continue this.
You haven't been active in a few months but I hope you come back! I'm really missing this story. There's some really great stuff and I want to see what happens next through to the end!
I am so hooked on this story. I really hope that you're planning on/working on updating again. This is hands down one of my favorite stories ever. I love the whole premise, the action, the relationships, the drama, the horror, the different cultures, and especially how you've displayed it all for us. There's something so real about all of the characterizations, dialogue, and plotting. I also love how believable our protagonist is. She so obviously has her flaws, but she's also realizing them and working on overcoming them. Her idealism is so wonderful, but is also one of her biggest crutches, as Nicholai has pointed out. Speaking of Nicholai, I love him but I hate him. He is so bad-ass, and he's completely justified in how he treats Katie, at least most of the time. But he gives her absolutely no benefit-of-the-doubt, which after all this time of her working her butt off to fit in to a world not only completely alien to her own but also one in which she has been programmed since birth to fear and mistrust, is quite unfair and not the least bit rude. Every time he makes progress, he goes ahead and flushes it down the drain like with this last play for power. Like, seriously, isn't he supposed to be at least somewhat equal with his mate? Obviously Katie can never physically stand up to him just out of sheer size and weight and training, but I feel like she's shown that she can stand up to him and push against his dominance when she feels inclined. There's an equality in their willpower that he completely disregards, despite her niavety and sheltered upbringing--she is still so young compared to him for crying out loud! That being said, I can not wait to find out what you have in store for this story next. This has been such a rollercoaster of emotions and events from the very beginning, and I can't wait for more! Please tell me that you're still working on this masterpiece because I completely adore it, and I might also be a little addicted. I really hope that all my rambling made sense as it's after 2:30 AM here. I just couldn't finish and leave without leaving a comment on this magnificent masterpiece.
PS. I love his nickname of Kitten for her! Precious yet so annoying at the same time! PPS. I wish I could get inside Nicholai's head for a bit and understand his feelings and intentions for once!
O M G that was by far my favorite chapter thus far (perhaps because I've been missing this so much haha) I love how the plot is developing and Nikolai was soooo good in this chapter, I love how you're developing their relationship. AND THAT KISS! Pretty sure I read that like a million times, this chapter was amazing and I am so excited to read more. I am thrilled to see you're back! <3
