This rating is solely plot-based becAuse the writing is rough and Karsten uses too much figurative language and all of my favorite characters were dead but whatever it was fine I liked it okay

And omf the last chapter/epilogue was the WORST (2080 does not make sense as a year for Ash's and Wesley's reincarnations to be adults, KARSTEN!!! They would have had to die pretty young like early sixties tops!!!!) and I don't think I could have rolled my eyes any more than I did.

AND I forgot about this earlier but I hated the Cloak storyline so much, and its resolution probably could not have been less satisfying.
