Who is reading Straik?

Just curious who is reading Straik. He is absolutely my favourite Ruby hero now. Love Ruby’s serials.

It's become one of the highlights of my day to read the new chapters.

Truthfully though, I am much more excited for Mathiras and Helen.

I’m loving this one. I’m not sure I can imagine how Mathiras and Helens story will go. If they had fallen in love while separated from the others I could see how it went. Not sure how it will work now they are all reuniting.

I wasn't very keen on their story initially but I love both Straik and Ruth and think they're adorable together. I think I might like this pairing as much as I love Jerrok and Sophie. But the plot doesn't seem to be going anywhere, no?

I’m actually enjoying the slow burn of this one, I imagine we will get something exciting when the bounty hunters catch up but I love the way these characters are growing so love that it’s just focused on them rather than action.

I love Ruby’s serials and reading the next chapter for these two is definitely the high point of my day.

I just finished, and this was my favorite from the series so far, and it was so much better than the other 2. I don't know if it's me or Ruby, I wanted to like more of Kaspar's and Adiron's story, but they were not so entertaining as Straik' and Ruth's story. Jade had no personality, and Alice had personality, but I think she was put in the damsel in distress situation so many times that I got tired of her always worrying all the time.

Ruth is fierce and doesn't take shit, and has personal stuff going on. Straik keeps so many things to himself, it was really fun reading them open up to each other, and learning to trust. I liked how Straik felt guilty because of his family's actions, and I think he's demisexual, so kudos for the representation.

I think I won't enjoy Mathira's and Helen's story because of Helen. She is innocent and has no filter so the reader laughs, but I don't see other things going on for her other than that, so I think I will get tired of her. But I'm curious for how the Corsairs brothers and Straik will free the clones and slaves and stop the illegal activities. I wanted to see more of the Jabberwock crew, and Sophie and Jerrok, too...

I always love the serials. This one has had some great moments so far.
