eeew, bird feeding water? that's a bit gross

it would be so good to hear Riftan's perspective in this chapter so that we could understand his internal conflict. surely he knows how capable Maxi is but it must be his obsessive love for her that wants her to stay behind and be safe

Seems like the author or editor is going to milk this one festival scene over 5 chapters on a platform that makes money per chapter release... 😕

This chapter is too short to justify spending coins. At least keep the chapter going till they leave the market... what a way to cheat the reader

Maxi's character development seems to happen with Ruth and not so much with Riftan... love triangle might be coming
