Highlander Reborn

A somewhat interesting story concept that unfortunately doesn't really live up to its potential. Nevin and Amalia are both interesting characters, and yet their characterization is rather flat, and the narration more than a bit awkward at times. It was easy enough to feel the connection between them, but there wasn't a lot of flow to how they related to one another. He's supposedly spent 700 years presumably hating her for changing him, and he's certainly none to welcoming toward her when she shows up in his life again, and he continues being rather standoffish toward her - despite the fact that they have wild sex a few times. Then something happens and he suddenly he's declaring his love for her, and saying he's really been lusting for her all this time. And that is only one of the rather abrupt changes that take place, some with no explanation of why, that makes the story a bit hard to follow and makes it a bit hard to accept all that happens. With more polish and a bit more time and word count given to it, this could have been a really good story, but as it is, it falls short. ★★½
