Enjoy it I did. Even though it's not all explodey and pew-pew, there's still enough emotional fireworks to keep it very interesting. Dark secrets from the past revealed, and hints at new secrets given. Thank you for writing, glad to be along for this ride.
I know this is a trivial point, but a kestrel behind an independent forcefield? That's not odd at all.
Loving all the character dynamics here. The more we see of these people, the more messed up I think they all are -- and the more I want to see of them.
