while most people indeed usually don't care about flashbacks, I do feel that it has been kinda dragging along. Since heron hasn't appeared yet it will probably take a well till we get to the present as well (I've read my fair shares of flashbacks and have been 50/50 either enjoying or just don't liking them ... sadly, despite this being one of me favorite stories, if und myself struggling to read this)
my biggest issue is that brian has been somewhat of a source of insecurity for Ian - which doesn't help the fact that sol, who is now our MCs love interest, was just too fond of Brian even in the present. I'm guessing sol's hands were bound, but he sadly couldn't lessen Ian's fears at all.
One thing that keeps holding me back as well is that to me, Brian is still not Ian. Not sure how this might change in the future though, but I just don't like reading such an important part of sol's life with another WHILE he has someone in the present, who's just like the same person. It's hard to explain haha'
I still read this and what can I say, it's not like I'm particularly enjoying it but I do appreciate the background and motives of the characters. Especially since sol has become such a different person. I agree that some people are voicing their thoughts in a rather rude way but I dont mind people just saying that they miss ian ... I mean it's totally understandable!
