Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Not usually a fan of mega gts stories but this is probably one of my favourite gts stories ever.
First the bad points: okay you're probably gonna kill the next person who mentions spelling but sorry it was a bit of a distraction to an otherwise incredible story.
Next the length is both good and bad, bad because this really is novel length and good for the same reason. It does allow for great character development and descriptive scenes.
Last, though this is more of a personal taste thing, her great size. For me, when people start to become half an inch or less (comparitively speaking) interaction starts to become meaningless and a bit unbelievable. Kate's other superpowers like her hearing and sense of touch did help a lot with suspension of disbelief, but as I read it I can't help but think of her largest size to be no more than 500 feet. But that's just me being picky.
The good points outweigh everything else. Some may disagree but I liked the detail that went into some of the scenes and it really helped give a good feel of the sense of scale Kate had. The action scenes were great and so was the character interaction and development. I thought the ways she kept herself entertained and occupied with her little routines showed great creativity. Size not withstanding, Katie is probably one of the most believable and likeable story characters I've come across. There were times when I thought she was just like a real teenage girl chilling in her room - which just so happened to be a weapons silo. The only time I didn't empathise with her was how she acted when the army attacked her. It was understandable and I have no problem for the most part. But she just overstepped the mark just that little bit too much, which is why she lost Amy as a friend. That was a shame too because I loved the relationship they had it was really sweet and I personally wish that was explored further rather than introducing her boyfriend. But stories gotta go with the flow and I guess I'm being picky again. Maybe you could write an alternate storyline? (I keed, I keed)
Altogether a fantastic piece of work.
