Hmm, not sure how I feel about this chapter. It's a big info dump chapter, lot of exposition, dialog, build up, and I think it stumbles a bit. Let me know.

Edit: Small adjustment to emphasize a scene.

Its solid, but yeah it is a bit of an info dump. Its kind of necessary though. I can't imagine not bombarding a non-hostile demigod with questions in that situation.

A lot of information but you have to allow for Caera’s curiosity .

great info dump. Good chapter

I found the "info dump" very well incorporated into the story/ dialog. I really hate to be lectured at and this was anything but a lelecture. of course lots of questions were asked, who wouldn't be curious? Still plenty of tension, some surprises and a tight, interesting telling of a great story. No complaints from me.

On second thought. As a writer it must be fun to write a chapter full of incidents and you probably already know what happens in Chapter 67 so this one must be boring. For us readers it's agonizing, Mia is in the Spire, David is two days away, two Old-ones are nearby and Cain and Lilith, the Rider and his wife? I think it's called tension building and you succeeded, no cliffhangers needed.

Glad it's working out. I have so many things planned and sometimes it's easy for me to forget that what is a big reveal to the readers is something I had planned from the get go. I already know how the whole story ends (mostly), and keeping perspective on what I know vs. the reader is tricky.

Big info dump, even if we heard big chunk of it through Mia. And this little conflicts inside the group! Aghh, I know, that without them, it will be more boring, and everyone can't get along with each other all the time. But I can't stop myself from little facepalm when it happens.

lol, the key is to make sure the things they argue about are legitimate.

I didn't think the info dump was too much. If anything, I felt like it wasn't enough. The knowledge, the perspective that you could gain from a being like Azazel is almost too much to countenance. But I understand why, for keeping the story going, that the info didn't keep coming. I'm taking a real liking to Anianus. To me, it seems like he occupies the role of court jester, garrulous with a bent towards the whimsical, but also deadly shrewd. There's a reason Dobasi keeps him around, after all. I laughed at "Poke the bear? Poke the bear." We're really seeing David and Mia come into their own, playing the games of the demons and speaking their language to serve their own interests. I like Mia's cynical brusqueness—like, yeah, Dobasi is probably going to try to use her for his own ends, so just cut to the heart of it and try to glean whatever information he and the spire make available. Her attitude feels fitting for the journey she's been on. Azazel counseling David to listen feels very appropriate. A unimaginably powerful being trapped under the skin of Hell for billions of years surely would gather power to themselves, both in resonance and in information. We've had a lot of the mindless, kill-kill-kill demons, so I like this skew towards the cunning and calculating. There's something off-putting about that, like such a thoughtful being shouldn't be so brutal. I suppose because that means their violence is an informed choice, then. Anyways, excellent chapter! I much prefer these chapters over the big battle scenes, as entertaining as they are.
