The whole soul tie side plot is an idea I'm experimenting with so please give me feedback, I promise it won't hurt my feelings too bad. I'm writing my own book and the soul tie thing is something I'm playing with, I hope it's not disrupting the story. This is going to be my last update for a little while as I'm working on a couple other projects, but this is not abandoned, I swear on the River Styx. I'll probably do another note here when I finish and publish one of those projects incase you want to check it out.
I hope you're enjoying the story so far! Don't forget to eat your safety goggles and wear your greens.
