I've got you in for the next chapter! At this rate, this will be a solo project!

PL will be delayed a bit, as I'm working from a cellular connection at the moment.

Wow. After all the ups and downs, I should have known we were due for another down! Two chapters to go, hoping for another "up"... :help:

Chapter 6 is PL OK! :thumbs:

Oof, that is a painful loss!

Just one optional note for chapter 2:
@1:41, OPTIONAL "with this temporary -privation-"
Hmm, not sure how I missed this optional fix, but I have updated section 2! Run time is the same, and the edit should be around the same timestamp :)

Never mind me over here wiping my tears as I upload chapter 7 (42:48).

Shall I finish this book off? I feel like Chapter 8 can't get any sadder...

Sounds good! I've got those two in the MW for (spot-)PL, and the final chapter is assigned to you!

I'll move us over to Readers Found. :D

Oh, no! Nobody told me it was that kind of a story!
We had several 'ups', but this was still a downer of a chapter. :cry:

But at any rate: chapter 7 is PL OK! :thumbs:

Right? Totally unnecessary! I was so rooting for her to get better since she didn't have to stress about Sebastian any more.

Ok, I feel we got a little cheated with no more information on Blanche and Hyppolito, but I think the author redeemed themselves with the very last bit.

This was so great to read! I'm so glad I picked it up in volume 3, and now I'll have to go back and listen to it all! :)

I'm glad you joined too! If I remember right, I joined in volume 2, where Sebastian first sees the aftermath of the battle of his life. It moved me, and I knew I had to hear how it ended! :mrgreen:

Queued for PL, and I expect I'll get this off to the catalog sometime tomorrow. I'll categorize it as a solo, even if it didn't start out that way!

Ooh, yes, the throne room scene covers for some other lacking elements!

Just two notes, on this final chapter!
@12:49, stumble in "When this -amicable- contest was ended"
@3:53, in "that is not -comprised- in the character", I hear "compromised"

Can we all agree that if they had never left Brazil, they would have led a wonderful life growing old in that land where no one accused him of being a liar? *sigh*

Edits completed and file has been re-uploaded. Run time remains the same.

Agreed! They were happy, together, and had a community. The divine right of kings strikes again...

Spot-PL OK! :thumbs:

I'll start the cataloging process. :D
