A satisfying conclusion in intention, but less so in execution. Everything seems to unpack like a whirlwind, with little time and space for physical moments to linger. The emphasis on sitting within the protagonist's reflective position gives its entirety a warranted warmth, but I wished the plotting and character dynamics were better drawn out as it builds towards a cathartic fulfilment. I admire what the series represents, with evidence of gratitude towards its influence, no matter what criticisms or expectations I brought to the reading, it was never going to get in the way of my general appreciation.
