I'm happy we got this closure of a novella. 

The angst was delicious. Although I can't believe I'm going to say this, but my favourite parts were when they stopped having sex for once and talked things out x-x The amount of sex, and the way they were going from 0 to a 100 in 5 seconds flat, was unrealistic bordering on medically concerning. 

The 5th or whatever time Vasili said he was going to sail after all, had me rolling my eyes too tbh. It's the same problem I had with the main trilogy, beating the dead horse of a theme over and over again until it loses all of its impact.
