I really want to say that this story hooked me in. There are twists and turns but not at the expense of the character development. Nothing seems out of the blue, and literally every detail builds up to something more. Even when there are twists (and boy are there a lot of them), though they are unexpected, the plot sets it up in a way that I sort of know that they're lying in wait (like how you pointed out Hayden and Tylen's personality reversals). Especially, just all the details are beautiful. For character development, I love love love how everyone is flushed out. Heck, even the pirates have character. I can actually sense their emotions, whether it be pain or anxiety. Also, the children are so preciousssssss!!!!!! I really only intended to read a few chapters, but that plan went horribly awry ;-; I think the only thing issue I had with this was how there would be certain numbers in the story. Like the whole point about the precise height. I must admit I didn't quite understand the point of it. But if it's another subtle detail I missed, please let me know! Anyways, I added it to my library, and I'm looking forward to it ^-^

Thank you for your review! The story had actually been on hiatus for sometime so I'm not sure if the latter chapters still showcase the same impact ;-; I just hope they don't disappoint at least! Judging by your chapter reading status, the precise number was because I think several readers had asked me about the character's height. (The hiatus was long) I might need to read through them again but height can be related to a race like in our world Asians are generally shorter than other continents. The only other one I could think is the tower. I needed to know how long it would take to climb it because Raz was worried about leaving Cleon and Maia for too long. It also shows how tall the trees are and why falling off could kill a person.
Ohhh that makes a lot more sense. Like to me, I would have just assumed that the numbers were in a reasonable range for the actions to happen, so actually seeing the numbers was a bit like ? And it's midterm week, so I couldn't read as much as I wanted ;-;
