“You must not undo the good which has been done.”
In general, it was a bit too slow-paced for my liking. I got bored halfway through and took a break for a bit. Some characters grew to irk me several occasions. Nonetheless, one whole star is directly and solely for the final chapter - it was so heartwarming it made my insides melt. I don’t really care for the boring parts if it means getting to experience that last chapter for the first time again.
