And just like James Teller, all I can do is concede :D I had thought about writing a full review of the story for the final installment, but I decided to just sit back and enjoy it for all that it is. Ary was such a strong character, and her unwavering optimism eventually wins out. In the end, it's a feel good moment that makes you wish that real life was always like that.
But, I have to give the MVP to Dorotea. What a turn around she had! Easily the most relateable and compelling character in the story. Loyal through and through!
It's a shame that it was the last we've seen of James. He showed his hand and he got outplayed. An ignoble ending to such a diabolical strategist.
If you're happy, then I'm happy, sis! You're one of the most passionate writers I know, and every line you write is chock full of emotion. You pour everything to the page. Congrats on another finished novel here on Steemit!
Aww, that's so nice! I was bracing myself hahaha, I really thought you were going to hit me on this one. But as I said at the beginning, this whole book started as just an exercise. There are some changes I'm going to make, but I don't think there's a better way to handle the end if I want it to be happy. And I do, lol.
I mayyyy have started on a novella that takes place a little ways into the future and has a bit of a twist. We'll see how that goes :)
