Just finished my 3rd re-read of of the older (1-10) so please do not misconstrue my thoughts as negative. My other 3x rereads include Robert Jordan, Steven Erikson, Tolkien and a few Clancy’s. 1) Tanya’s personality is disappearing. She seems to just frown about Omega and Declan.
2) Levi would make a great series. Man looking for old books and artifacts. Could work into the Demon Accords easily.
3) CAECO needs to work back into the series. C.A.E.C.O. was great!
Note: I forget the book but when Chris got shot that whole section from the shooting through him jumping out of the car with Tanya was fantastic. What happened in the car with Lydia was just great! I could feel Chris’s pain through your writing.
4) You created some great characters. Aunt Ash, Levi, Robbie, Draco, Mack, let them be included before you end the series.1 agree with Tanya becoming wooden as recently she has had little appearance and to me is getting forgotten
2 Levi’s would be interesting thou may be as a collection of short books than a whole one
3 agree with y there as personally iam getting tired of the switching between groups of people. It was better when the important characters are part of a single group as it made the whole storyline more enjoyable. Have to see where J goes with caico as it honestly felt like I was reading a condescend vieiw of the things Chris was experiencing and leaning in the first few books
4 absolutely y missed Jetta definitely would like to see more of themThere are so many stories in this universe that I’d like to see that the only way it could happen would be for John to be involved in multiple transporter accidents.
“The Adventures of Levi, Book Collector Extraordinaire” is now one of my favorite series and it hasn’t even been written.
There was always something just a bit off about the level of antipathy Caeco and Declan had after the breakup. CAECO bringing her back to someone I really liked was a relief… and I now need to go reread the book.
I was looking back at the Executable novel to add things in the wikia and it says “no one can reprogram your nannites now except you” But since Omega’s creation does that apply to him.
I would think that since Omega owns every other computer he looks at, per Chris in Rogues, it seems reasonable that he could indeed reprogram Caeco’s nannites.
As far as Tanya’s personality goes, her personality has changed over the course of the books, but most of it I would consider normal considering everything that happened to her and Chris. That being said, the constant sniping at Declan and Omega is getting tiresome, especially since she was the one pushing so hard for his creation. This is s prime example of being careful what you wish for. Hopefully the next book will shed some more light this subject.
The problem, if you can call it that, with having so many engaging and interesting secondary characters is that people want to read their tories too! What is an author to do! LOL!!
Also, another thought. Can humans create spells and be useful? Can they come up with the idea for a certain spell and a witch or warlock create it?
Pretty sure they can – The Book of Darkest Sorrow was written by that witch AND Declan sems to create new wasy of using magic. Spells seem to be like a simple way of automatically carrying out an action, with the same effect each time.
What Declan does seems to be more like magic manipulation on the fly, whilst the other witches rely on structured spells they can create or mold. As they explain, many use different methods – runs, magic sand etc.
There seem to be basic “rules” you can’t easily avoid – circles, channeling of power etc, but the effects change.
