So I'd stepped away from GC back in... when the witch coven was introduced?

Didn't like them at all... and I had felt my enjoyment dwindling for months... so I stopped checking in

Coming back 18 months later... wow, this is so cool.

I started (re-)reading a couple chapters before that, and it's surprising how much of my dwindling enjoyment was purely due to the pacing. Reading it all in one go, the story is amazing.

And I thought Jenny was so cool and kind-hearted D:

Basically, if other people feel the same whatever-ness I did back then, try letting it marinate for a bit. It reads a whole lot better when read as a sort-of finished product.
