I'm up to chapter 24. Reading it as I can (work interferes with free time). This is a very good story. Well done. Off to read more of it.

Glad to see you back and have the story moving again.

So an update for those wondering, I initially said 35 chapters but I'm running long. I did a rough plot of whats left and it's looking like 39-42. I've had the last chapter written almost since the beginning (obviously it's not set in stone but the framework is solid) I just don't want to rush it more than needed to maintain pace.

In Chapter 34 of RIFTS: THREADS we round third and head for home as the homes of the gods are assailed!

At the end of 35 I think you mean word not world, ".... but the world that emerged was in her voice yet not from her mind."

What is this? Chapter 37 only one day after Chapter 36 was released? Damn right, only three more after this one Boils and Ghouls!

Well I liked it a lot. I have a few issues as maybe it's just the breaks making it harder to see but I didn't feel the relationship between Meg and Tammy was fleshed out enough to make it seem like that deep of a wound for Meg at the end. But I'm totally up with me just not remembering stuff well since the story has been going on for a while now. My other comment is I wanna know what if any powers Meg still has. Oh and does Thor's hammer return to him in mythology too, or is that just Marvel coming through?

Josh Hilden · Unread post by **Josh Hilden** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 1:33 pm

Glad you liked it, Daniel.

As to the Meg and Tammy relationship, I think there is enough to infer but not directly addressed. For some, it was too much and other not enough. I think in the end it served it's purpose without overwhelming things.

Yes, the Hammer returns in mythology, although I freely admit I hadn't fact checked that until you brought it up.

Meg has the powers she gained transitioning from the past to the future and bonding with the ring, although they've been severely drained, and it could be a long time before they reach former levels. As to what might remain of the power of the Word... well there is a sequel coming next year.

Daniel Stoker · Tue Dec 22, 2015 4:55 pm

Well I can't wait to see what happens next, so fingers crossed for next year.
