One question tho: Would you consider Spell Nexus a villain?

While he did do all those horrible things, he was under the influence of that evil part of Nightmare Moon, so he wasn't in control of his own actions. I actually feel quite sorry for him

Nah. I was kinda annoyed when I found out about the brainwashing, because then I couldn't even be mad at him. I so wanted him to pay for what he and the children of nightmare did to Nyx, then they revealed that it wasn't even his fault.

I got over that though and he started to grow on me once I reread the book and read the sequels. Speaking of which, have you read any of Pen Stroke's sequels to Past Sins?

I've read Winter Bells, but I've yet to get round to reading the other sequels. I literally have "The Road Home" open as a tab on google, but I've yet to read it due to a lack of time and I kinda got distracted by other fan fics. 

While I enjoyed Winter Bells, I didn't find it as exciting as Past Sins but I still like it. And yeah Spell Nexus appeared near the end of Winter Bells.. The way he was portrayed in Winter Bells is kind of why I feel really sorry for him.
