I'd say this story does a bit too much for it's runtime. It's very, very fast, while also doing what it does very, very well. Part of me yearned for it to slow down and take it's time- it felt like it should've been two part story. The ideas were plentiful, the emotional beats were lovely, I just would've loved to savor all this story's bountiful gifts for far longer. As it is, it feels a bit muddled by it's own pacing, sadly deflating the plot ever so slightly. Need this writer back. I am sure that, with this notch under his belt, he will continue to get better and better.
