My critique is about narrative—and, really, only the lack of urgency. All of this is subjective to a degree, including our criticisms of RoS. But I'm not making aesthetic arguments. This is what I teach in Narrative 101. It's fine if people dig it, but there are reasons not to do 2nd Acts this way.

Ok. I think everyone else has explained themselves, too. You've been talking to writers, just fyi.
