Pax seems sinister. She didn’t speak much (or at all?) but the descriptions of her make it seem like she’s someone to be more weary of than the others.

I just started reading the paperback. I’ll visit the online chapters as a I do to like and leave a comment.

That's an interesting (and not entirely incorrect) observation! I don't think anyone else has made it, or at least no one's said anything about it.

The pace is set to fast! A wild ride so far and a fun band of characters.

Of course! I've been meaning to dive into it for days, I love that there is so much in the Blackspire universe

I hope you enjoy digging through it. There's so much more planned - 28 more chapters of ADTR are coming (to wrap up book 1). I've got a historical fiction serial in the planning stages (set in the 3rd century BC when the Celts sacked Rome), plus some more character backstories for the Talon. I'm currently working on yet another unrelated short story that'll go into the Miscellaneous Debris category, lol.

What a great adventure! I love the different personalities of this team. The action moves so swiftly, as well.

Thank you! They’re all a lot of fun to write (Hax and Pax are probably the most fun, just because of who they are).

Yes! I feel like I'm going on the adventure with them as I read. I should say all your descriptions of the settings and clothing and movement is spot on as well. All around great writing!
