I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!

This was seriously the best opening ever. Within a few sentences, you had me captivated, fully immersed in Rio and Heron's story. I feel like people rarely give a chronological step-by-step of a character's past when they start off a story, just to add suspense, but in this story, you recognized that understanding the past was essential for us to get to know the characters -- and it totally paid of. The back story was intriguing and heartbreaking and ensured I was completely rooting for Rio and Heron as they tried to hold it together in a world that kept ripping everything they had apart.

Rio's mother's story especially :( I was so sad for her; losing those kits... and then Orion and Rio having to pick one of her two youngest to survive. This might sound strange, too, but I kind of liked that her mother's litters had different fathers who grew absent and eventually disappeared. I feel like that's kind of a more accurate portrayal of what a family can be that most writers skirt, and it showcased where Rio gets her strength and instinct from.

So Orion's gone to be with Payton :/ If it all goes wrong, he'd better not come crawling back. I mean, I understand that he's old enough to want to find a life of his own, but true maturity would be recognizing that he had a responsibility and a family to care for, not abandon. I understand Rio's feeling of betrayal.

And the ending! So the warehouse is being demolished. That certainly leaves Rio in a lurch; there's nowhere to leave Heron while she hunts and no safe home to come back to... I hope they find a way to keep safe, but I'm kind of scared for them out on the streets.

Excellent job! I love this show and I look forward to more!
