First of all, thanks for reading! It seems that overall your experience was a positive one, so I’ll take that haha. As for the “cliffhanger”, I understand where that’s coming from. Though, alternatively, I’d say that because the entire story is essentially one massive main plot with zero filler, where even the smaller side plots eventually converge into the main one, there wasn’t really a point where I could’ve ended the first book without leaving major questions unresolved. Wherever I drew the line between books, it would inevitably feel like a “cliffhanger” to some extent, since the main mysteries aren’t meant to be resolved until much later in the story.
