I found a few parts a bit slow, but really appreciated how Chee makes you feel like you know the characters.

Mini-Spoiler: I found myself crying when one of the characters dies because of the way Chee writes about the reactions and emotions of the other characters.

I wanted to know more about where all of the characters “ended up” but I think that’s part of the beauty—the openness of it.
