Gah!!! I need the next chapter posthaste! Please and thank you 😊 I can honestly feel Gillian’s exhaustion, I’m sure she’s just ready for it all to be over. That weight of having one thing after another hit you, on top of knowing that the solution to end it, most likely means her demise. Oh man. I love this so much 🖤

Why does Jack and Gillian getting pushed off the deep end feel so relatable 😂 (except their stakes are higher while I pretend there are no problems).

Pretending there are no problems is definitely relatable for me 😅😅 I have to live vicariously through Jack and Gill because (i assume) they will actually solve theirs…

🤣 I just realized how their names sound together. Let’s see how it goes. They say we’re the 5 people you spend time with the most. You never know what quality we might pick up from them 😅

God I hate Alice. Phi better be shutting her up soon. Poor Gillian deserves a spa vacation for this, without Jack. Because he deserves whatever is coming at him now. Someone get Gil a better man, please (Fenner is single, you know 😂)

But honestly, I love how the dynamics develop. I'm curious to learn how Jack got there so fast, actually. Considering how long Phi and Gillian needed

Jack is not at all turning out how I thought honestly lol I agree with you he deserves this 😈 however I don’t think Fenner is a great replacement for her considering you hate him too!!

I was going to explain the timeline in the next chapter but now that I’m thinking out loud I think I just found a plot hole 😳

I don’t hate Fenner 😂 he’s just so anti magic somehow, it’s making things difficult cause his arc was supposed to be so very different

“Why wasn’t anyone coming?”

G! It’s a trap! [insert Akbar meme]

I was expecting dad but not Jack!

My only feedback today is that I’m unclear why Gillian needed to go with Phil in the first place. It made me think that might have been explained in the last chapter and my mashed potato brain forgot between releases. I’d love a short chapter recap a-la Olivia at the start of each new chapter.

I was just thinking that about the recap!! Olivia is perfect. And yeah,I don’t think I explained it properly so thank you!

I giggled at the meme lol

Damn! I knew he was up to something. I was on the edge of my seat as Gill made her way through the suspiciously quiet castle. I might have to get a drink before I move on to calm my nerves.

Magic beanstalk portal foreshadowing.

Did Dad fly first class while daughter had to take the train? Did Jack get squeezed into luggage?
