E. J. Mellow - The Divide

"What I want to do is travel deep and deeper into the dreamlands,
to find that place that I know is waiting for me here.
My home."
—Charles De Lint

Fun time is just getting started...

I really really need to get my fair share of sitting in the Dreamer Memory Chair. All that combat skills seem to be too badass to miss a once-in-a-lifetime-kicking-butts possibility. Let alone the elongated workout-hours with Dev.

OMG. Those eyes...<3

“First rule in fighting, never let your guard down.”

While Molly is busy cleaning the Metus' clock, Dev is not exactly inclined to get off his high horse, which is just fine. Sounds like the standard role-play in an everyday relationship ;)

Footnote

Their banter is so intense that I feel the smoldering heat off the pages. I just keep waiting for the eruption of a very active volcano...

P.S.
Oh! Let's not forget Dev's twilight years during which he lost the love of his life. My poor baby. I'm sorry not being there to give him comfort.

"I can do this. I will do this. I am powerful. I can make a difference."

It feels like a cosmic journey I've been riding for some time. Terra could be so damn beautiful. I'm sure I'd pay for a one-way ticket to Dreamland. And I must admit I'm pretty envy of the flying-and-creating-things-out-of-the-blue version of Molly. Such a hard-ass. Perfect strong female heroine candidate. I vote for her.

“You know, there’s one thing I’ve learned from living in Terra—one thing that, no matter what, has always stood the test of time. It’s that all dreams have ways of coming true.”

The end was so unpredictable! I almost fall from the edge of my comfy armchair when she got stabbed. She (let alone me) just got to have fun with all her crazy mind-bowling skills like flying. The greatest dream of humanity. Gone.

So unfair! What about her mission? What about Dev and their future? Arghh....!!! I demand a delete.

“But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my time here, it’s that we can’t change the past. We can only try and guide the future.”
