So far I think the story has progressed quite well.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Especially with Elie's story arc. In the beginning I felt she was weighing the others down alway trying to be captured and couldn't fight back. I was waiting for her to fight more. Also learning that she could control Etherion. then in the latest chapter I've she has a staff? Wicked! Let finally getting Julia was cool, now there are two hand to hand fighters.
I could ramble on but I would like to know what you guys thought.
