Touched by a feathered touch
I’ve really enjoyed this story so far. The pacing is excellent, the emotional beats land beautifully, and the descriptive writing brings scenes to life with vivid sensory detail. The contrast between Constance coping with the destruction of her world and the flashes of rebellion or humour in her personality is especially compelling. The side characters add richness without ever weighing the story down. I’m completely absorbed and loving the slow-burn tension between Waya and Constance, which is already shaping into something properly gripping. Waya is having to work to show he’s not a monster. The character shaping up to be the villain is satisfyingly loathsome. I’m keen to learn more about Waya’s backstory, his brother, and why Constance’s village seemed so oblivious to the Awanali—I’m guessing because of their isolation, but I hope that’s explored further. I’m also really curious about the humans capable of capturing Awanali. With only eight chapters in, I’m excited to see how these threads unravel. I’d recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy with semi-morally grey leads, emotional depth, reluctant attraction, and rich worldbuilding. The writing is consistently strong—immersive, well-paced, and emotionally resonant. I can’t wait to see where it goes next.
