Still just as much an epic as it has been. I think the sheer length is actually scaring people off, still.
Well, the latest chapter took a weird left field-ish turn at the end that I didn't expect. It at least made sense with Meris becoming the one to do the deed. I guess, from her personality, she has always seemed timid and meek. The possessive bits I can understand as she also seems to be a jealous creature. I suppose it did take Sonja's coaxing for Meris to actually go through with it, so there's that.
The consequences eventually are going to slam headlong into the girls. From a realism stand point, that actually seems like the most interesting ends needing to be tied up. Granted, with supernatural bits and all that, realism did go at least slightly out the window.
You also have the still-mystery of what the heck happened to Sonja's other (first?) victim that's still lingering among a few other small loose ends.
