Title: Chapter 12: Ch 12. Friends in Low Places
Well, it was certainly an eventful chapter.
It was already clear from the beginning, but Maisie is a real mess. And while it's clear there are reasons why she's acting this way, I really hope she gets some righteous karma for the way she's treating her little, now-former friend, and that this opens the door to at least something resembling a redemption arc for her.
At the same time, however, the idea of a nearsighted Tiny who's even more dependent on his giant master is just too fascinating not to want to see it explored further. As usual, you're really good at thinking outside the box.
I also hope what happened to her daughter makes Val reconsider her views on the Yunwis. Despite her first impression as a character being among the worst possible, she's clearly a mother who cares deeply for her daughter.
Livy seems to be a great influence in Thorns' life, and she shows me that their inevitable romance is progressing well, as is her critical spirit towards more negative examples, like Maisie's.
Regarding the witch story, it seems clear that something is happening in town, or maybe it always has been, but our protagonists are only now realizing it, and I can't wait to learn more.
Great work as usual, this series remains one of my favorites on the site.
Author's Response: Yeah, it was great getting all these characters together again. They hadn’t all seen each other since chapter 1, back when most of them were still human.
Maisie has it pretty rough, thus Marbles gets it even rougher. It will be interesting to see how she develops from here, whether she gets that karma or not.
Quinn’s near-sightedness is very fun to play with, especially as someone who used to suffer from it myself. I can’t imagine what living life without glasses would have been like, especially at two inches tall (I’d miss out on seeing all the giant women!). I’m looking forward to exploring that further too. ^^
Val’s opinions on Yunwi are kinda complex. Or maybe she’s just a hypocrite. XD She certainly cares for her daughter, at least more than she does other Yunwi, though you’ll get to see a bit more on that front next chapter.
Livvy really has been a positive influence on Rose. Her life really seems to be turning around ever since he shrunk. And yeah, Maisie not be as great a friend as she’s cracked up to be. Fortunately, Rose is pretty stubborn, so she isn’t going fall to her ways that easily.
Thank you for reading, and for the high praise! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story and hope you look forward to more.
