With a title like Luna's Ascension it's not hard to figure out what's going to happen here. I just hope it doesn't ruin the couple.
I'm not a huge fan of Ash's attitude but I can't blame him for it. The traditional identity of a man is obviously really important to him and he lives in a society where that's practically irrelevent. Half of me wants to say hey you're an adult get over it yet the other half is like keep fighting the good fight. So kudos for creating a character like that.
Luna's the best at everything always. :) I also think Regan might have a slight crush on her.
Author's Response:
Ash apparently studies history, learning what he can from the pre-Ascension era. He seems to have trouble reconciling what he's learned (independence of man, etc) with his upbringing and societal expectations. Then again, he's obedient in other situations, perhaps force of habit. I think there's a difference between a man who's magically transported into a world like that (other stories come to mind), and a man born and raised in such a world.
Thanks for the review!

Ash seems like a child here, is that your intent? I can't fault him for that, he is treated like one when he's outside, men must be a real valuable commodity if fears of being kidnapped are so widespread.
Author's Response:
Yep. In some ways, we get the impression he's been treated like a child his entire life. He has guardians, he doesn't get to keep most of the money he earns, he's not allowed to drive many places, and women are frequently condescending. He's grown up in a very different world. He and Luna remind me a bit of Titan pets that grew up on Titan planets. Can't seem to remember their names, but I'm thinking of the guy that punched Luke and the girl (Nonah?) before Niall trained her. Wow, I really need to read Titan again, lol.
