Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Spoilers

Thank you, Jim (spoilers of all the book)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Aminar:
As far as the evil-ex goes. I don't much think it's that either. I got more of a... We love eachother but we can't live with eachother vibe. It's actually a really cool start to a story, depending where Jim takes it. But it could also be venting his demons. And that's cool with me too.
I did like the male female balance. It's what I try to do in my own writing. I find female characters more fun to write. But I always worry if I get anything wrong or "wrong" that I'll be hamstrung, drawn, tarred, and quartered.

Dina:
Well, perhaps I am projecting too much of Elaine on her, or my fear that she ends showing with a little Grimmette that she hide from him. I don't know, I just don't like her.

Yes, the male female balance is very good.

But, as established at the beginning of the book, Predator's MO is to drop on the target and attack them before their shroud is up.  Given their lack of armour, the only way that attack can work is if they cripple the ship straight away.

And when they find the ship's shroud is up, they blow away a 30 foot section of hull, almost definitely killing crew. 

Dina:
Ah, all right. That is bad too. (I sometimes miss part of the description of the airship combat because I don't care for it and I don't know some of the terms. English is not my first language)

This was the tone I got from it too. It actually reminds me a lot (or Im projecting a lot) of Highlander and the relationship between Duncan McCleod and Amanda, the immortal thief and con-artist; they've been in love for centuries, but both accept that they could never actually stay together for any length of time.  And find each other on opposite sides as at least as often as on the same side.
