Reading live from the first few chapters all the way up to the end was incredible. The growth and progress you made was actually incredible, and the way you have with words sometimes actually makes me jealous considering this is the first time you've properly written anything. Sure sometimes there were a few small pacing issues, and a few characters that could've done with a bit more fleshing out, but due to the massive constraints you mentioned in the final chapter, I find it hard to hold that against you. In almost every chapter I was gripped by the plot, and you really know how to end a chapter to keep your readers interested. The cliff hangers, especially in certain arcs, really made me want to keep engaging, and the way you sometimes set a puzzle out for the reader to solve with enough clues that it doesn't feel impossible, but also enough red herrings that the answer feels just out of reach. I think another area you excel at is character interactions, because every time you wrote a long section with 2 characters interacting, it gave you a much deeper insight into where their minds are at by that point in the story. A lot of the banter between characters felt very natural to me, and the characters that are closer friends naturally had more banter between them. The ending was also insane, I did NOT expect it, and I really hope you can write another novel continuing the story, because I REALLY want more SoG content. I want to see where Ace, Hiro, and Mira's story goes.
