Status Updates From Secrets of the Sand and Sea...

Growing fear that sexy man is not going to get redemption. Though the new ML is more age and (seemingly) morally appropriate, he's lacking the attractive spark Kay had. Arthur's just a normal early 20s guy,

Ask and ye shall receive. He's 23. So, yes, properly matched immaturity from our new featuring characters. Also I'm starting to get worried that it was a genuine betrayal. That Kay really did use her and he's not coming back as the secretly protecting her love interest.

Is no one else wondering or even concerned with whether Professor Amon is dead?! That man has a loving wife and children! We left him at a gun fight days ago and just ASSUME he's fine?
Anyways, I actively gasped and tensed when Etta was reaching for the balcony edge and nearly lost her raft.
Also I don't remember how old Arthur Griffon is meant to be. He's almost as immature as Etta..

I'm trying to think more critically of Kay's character. Who is he really? What are his motivations and personality other than 'flirt'? Is he really his own person or a sexy plot device? Cause some of his choices seem purely for plot development unless I can read into them.

Gasp! They have guns!

I hate him. But can't deny he's hot.

Initially overwhelmed by the sheer amount of informative world building, but now looking forward to learning new fantasy mythology.
