Maybe it's because we got her POV twice in a row but I'm starting to like Roe, she's the kind of character who could walk out of the novel and slap you. 🥲
Her voice—as with many others so far—feels alive.
Alec is a highlight too. His run-away-and-play-house vibe suits the theme of “world ending” very well.
Roe's soldier mindset contrasts with his vibe—I like their dynamic. Great chemistry.
This line in particular: “There is no ‘Roe’ without ‘Guardian.’” “And there’s no ‘Alec’ without ‘Roe.’”
Is a little ya romance tumblr circa 2014. That's not a bad thing though. You know your audience. ;]
The moose scene at the end is done really well. Most especially in the descriptions and the build up. You gave just enough to “feel” the monster before we see it, well, before it appeared. Really great cliffhanger.
