Malkorabout 16 years agoI find that I enjoyed this chapter even more than the first. I know you put fin at the end of this chapter, however, I would love to see more of this family's growth and maturation.
Emerald_Dragonabout 16 years agoI really liked this second chapter. I liked the interaction between the characters, a lot like a normal family would have. I hope that we will get another installment soon.
