I kept quiet until I finished reading this final episode.
This story illustrates what I told another author. He was surprised I had read his post to the end, as he does not think anyone else has done so (I know exactly how he feels) but I explained to him that it is not the length that decides whether I read a story, it is the plot and characters and how effectively they have been brought to life.
Your story could have been in one post and it would only have added to the pleasure of reading it.
Thanks
