The boundaries between your story parts, are almost as if you posted two 
pages of at one time, albeit taking care to respect paragraph 
boundaries.  Do you write that way?  That is to say, are you giving 
live-action updates for your new novel?  If so, I can't complain.

As ever, the story is well-crafted and gives time to build up the 
supporting characters.
