I felt like we never got back to seeing all the consequences of Abel’s actions. We went pretty deep into Vera’s issues and how it affected her family, but we never got to see that for Abel. I was so hype up until Debbie’s part, and my interest in the stories declined from there. Also waaay too much time was spent focusing on Louise and Peta-Gay, like I was rolling my eyes and just exasperated at how long their parts were. The ending was also quite random.
Overall, really interesting and complicated story that left me wanting more. The writer is very talented! Keep going Ms. Card, you have a bright future ahead of you!
