The only problem I had is that the end didn't feel like the end. There was no "The End" or anything, it feels very incomplete. Maybe that was intentional but it was very unsettling when just listening to it straight through and finding out there is nothing after 15.

However, starting with Episode Three, Ghadshyk became preachy and long-winded, and not only got away with it but was admired for it. That was hard to believe. Oddly enough though, the thing that annoyed me the most (and kept throwing me out of the story) was the way the schools were presented. I've been interacting with my local schools for years, and I just could not accept the progression of the new idea through the schools. So it might work better in the story without so many details. Schools are bureaucracies, and nothing spreads through a bureaucracy that fast, except maybe the flu. I made it to the end because there’s a lot of good stuff here.
