I don't quite enjoy how John is with the serum. He is becoming power-hungry like all the other mages. I think this will become a problem in the future of some sort because of the talk about "mass production" (RIng 248).

The Soaring Cloud Tower was very interesting as they used "slave collars" to keep non-mages obedient (Ring 224). The Eclisie should put a stop to it or more of a statement against this.

I am enjoying the character arc of Ellie as she is evolving into a great witch. She talks to herself about "helping John" (Ring 168). With John being a sizeable amount more powerful it is great that Ellie is taking that next.

Many things happened in this chapter but interesting enough I caught on when it had a chemical formula of "potassium bitrate" (Ring 78). I find it funny enough that my chemistry knowledge is now showing in the book so then I had to find out the formula I think he may have messed up because he was referring to the creme of tartar and its potassium tartrate but it was still a funny occurrence.

I am enjoying the character arc of Ben as he embarks of a quest to become an "apprentice" (Ring 72). It comes as a nice refreshment from the war currently going on in the book. Also the way Ring develops him into a more complete character is very nice.

This book so far left off where the other stopped it is keeping me a edge of my seat especially when John "help[ed] stabilize the portal' (Ring 53). This writing style has also been so refreshing compared to some of the other books because it just rolls as I read.
