Good chapters. Nice touch of action towards the end! And that was a good cliffhanger. 😬

Really, I don’t mind if you don’t want to talk about it, I just thought you wanted to.

@linus-smallprint

I understand what you’re saying about personal conviction. I believe God is still with you anyway.

I’m trying to respectfully discuss the conviction itself, since you have argued the rebellion in Ellette’s book is a problem. You challenged the morality. You already put morality on the table. Thus, I was under the assum…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Is a POV blind spot bad?

Nah, not really. Depends on how you handle it. Females are 50% of the population and many of them must be firstborns. We know very little about them. It’s a world building thing, and you’ve had to choose where to spend your effort, so it’s not surprising you haven’t included them.

If you wanted to, all…[Read more]

Random thought/note. I recently made a list of every character of mine… at least, that I could think of. I want to draw them all eventually. 🤤✍🏼 I have 606 characters. 400 are male and 206 are female.

@theshadow

Yeah, it’s pretty cool!

And if you don’t enjoy rock, that’s fine. Sometimes certain genres bothers a person and they don’t know why. It’s just a fact of their life. Many country songs rub me off the wrong way, and I don’t know why. 🤷‍♀️

You might have to explain what that thing is though XD.

Synesthesia? That’s where a person has de…[Read more]

*Cries in a corner*

I do like how in this book, we’re getting to see the perspective of one of the soldiers.

True.

It is also true, I forgot. We only have one female character so far. Other than what I call “extras.” And she isn’t from the city, so we have a POV blind spot, so to speak.

@keilah-h

Huh. I guess that would make sense.

Ellette, if that’s true, maybe make that clearer?

@hybridlore I think the girls are taken but not to be soldiers. More like strategists and informants.

@ellette-giselle ^^

Yes, I think he’s going to do that.

I do like how in this book, we’re getting to see the perspective of one of the soldiers. This is a strong part of the world building, so it’s nice to get a deeper look into it.

Is it just boys who are taken, or are there girls too? Because I feel like you might have mentioned something about there being a girl at the rehab center but I hav…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I commented after I finished the third one. 🙃

@whalekeeper @keilah-h @linus-smallprint

Alright, we’ll see if he responds!

@ellette-giselle

Wow. This is getting intense.

Good chapters!

@whalekeeper ahhh okay that makes sense

If you don’t think it’s a comparable scenario, I’d be curious to know why.

@linus-smallprint

I’m not going to dig myself too far into this convo. But the way I see it, the government is torturing the inhabitants of the city. They’re literally killing kids. So… I don’t know what to say, other than to pose the same situation in front of you and ask you what you would do. There’s no peaceful way to deal with this, and…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 Awesome!
