There's our complete survey and evaluation of our favorite and least favorite things, moments, & characters of this story. I didn't give my overall thoughts because I already gave mine in the epilogue chapter. It's optional if you want to fill out your own AnGC survey. You don't have to fill out every category. We're curious to know what you have decided as your favorites in each category. Or, you don't even have to fill it out at all.
