going back to the opening topic of msq...i just finished and i felt the
first two zones were a little slow but i guess world building is acceptable.
third zone did hit me in the feels. well done
fourth zone is odd...i'm not sure if it's fun but you're always on the edge of your seat expecting fun
fifth zone is interesting and sad and good

everything after the 2nd trial is ruined by the presence and dialogue of a character that should go home and get back to work. i'm on vacation...you're out of PTO, go home
