I knew that there were going to be problems with race in the story, but I never expected it to start so soon. In any case, this was an interesting chapter. Indigo and Angelo already seem so complex, and the thought that Indigo was willing to listen to a story from Maryellen was fascinating. I do want to learn more about Indigo's family past, as well as why Angelo is so reluctant to talk about their father.

One question I do have, though. Are Indigo and Angelo actually English? Or are they emulating their father's accent? In any case, if they are faking having accents, it makes me wonder why they would.

Angelo's "ignorance" concerning the usage of the word nigger was startling. I actually expected him to know that it isn't considered appropriate to call a black man (or woman) a nigger, but he didn't. His naivety concerning the situation and that he used the racial slur only because his father used it interested me. As was Indigo's reaction to it.

Also--Indigo can fight. This pleases and amuses me. At least she knows how to hold her own and isn't heading into the situation completely ignorant. The fact that Zulu couldn't get out of her grip amused me, too.

All in all, this is an interesting and story so far. Your characters are already complex and very fascinating.

I hope that Zulu and Angelo get over their differences--but somehow, I doubt that it will be easy. I like the way Indigo was annoyed by Chaitra, but still managed to be her friend, too.

And the fact that Indigo contemplated being on the other side of racism was a nice touch. I don't think many people actually think that people of different races can be racist towards caucasians, so I liked the fact that you touched on it.

All in all, great story so far. I can't wait for your next update. Until next time!

This is definietly interesting. I can't say that I've formed a formal opinion of it yet, because I have yet to see how the characters start to develop, have yet to see just how their minds work and all of their little quirks. Indigo is very cold, but very protective of her brother it seems, which is rather interesting, but I think that there may be something else behind it. Her lack of faith interests me, and Angelo's complete trust in faith is also interesting. I would very much like to see what it was that led him to becoming so religious.

I can't wait to see what else happens, and I like the depth of the topic you're choosing to write about. Gang culture is a hard thing to portray, but seeing your writing style, I think you'll do it nicely. Can't wait to see another update. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Until next time.

off to a great start, as always. Hope to read more soon~!

Ooh intriguing. I love the idea of a gang culture theme. The narrative style is also really interesting. Lookin' forward to the next chapter!
