Status Updates From The Keeper's Vow (Guardians...

Just making a note for myself for my review at the end:

The story is intriguing but I feel like the protagonist isn’t asking enough questions?? I actually want more exposition. Maybe there’s a reason for it, though.

I was REALLY jarred out of this chapter from the reveal of Katie's dad's true colors. I also feel like some of the info shared would have been REALLY nice to know earlier on, for the sake of building up to this explosion.

"OMG" should've been replaced with "oh my god". Alli and Katie both do this, and it mixes up the voices in my head. Also caught a few syntax errors.

Enjoyed the bonding with Katie and Tristan.

Really enjoying the gradual journey into this "parallel world". Very interesting character development. I'm beginning to see Katie's alleged selfishness, and I'm really enjoying that Tristan is one of the few who doesn't give her what she wants, when she wants it. They're both very bullheaded and I like that. There's a few inconsistencies, but I'm saving that for my full review. Loved this chapter!

I both loved and hated Tristan's secrecy in this chapter. Considering this was Katie's family, I felt like he was being a little unfair. Observations aside, I loved the believable nature of Katie refusing to tell her father. I was also a bit confused, because I thought that Lucy was the one with the problem when it came to Katie's father, not Will? Maybe I missed something. Good chapter, though!

I love the realism of Will and Lucy's relationship. I'm also very curious to see what this tension springs from. Also very excited to see Katie paired up with Tristan. Having Lucy as their mentor will be very interesting, as well.

Loving this story!

The first few paragraphs felt too fast-paced, but when the story found a rhythm, it was all good. The transitions from home to school, and vice versa, were a bit jarring, but I was too into the story to care. I wondered why Katie was being so hostile to someone she didn't know. It felt a little unprecedented at first, but her reaction to Tristan's accident was VERY believable. I could see all of it. Awesome start.
