North x Northwest Chapter 56 Discussion

Its pretty good. The author really captures the feel of an adventurous pirate story. There are some small plot holes, but nothing too bad. There is hardly a second to focus on it as there is always one disaster after another that they have to work their way out of. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Slight spoiler below concerning the romance.

What's really unique is the MC is already in a loving relationship (including sleeping together) at the beginning of the story. Its odd to find that in a novel. She is with a great guy that seems to support and love her, though there might have been some subtle hints that she does not love him as much as he loves her (though she definitely still cares for him a lot).

I don't know how the author plans to move forward with the romance. I will be very upset if they end up killing off the current significant other. He is in every way equal to or better then the Admiral. I am hoping the author does not take an easy way out like that.

Edit (chapter 168) : The author is amazing and this is possibly the most realistic portrayal of romantic relationships I have ever read in a novel.
