Chapter 45
I'm on Chapter 45 guys.
Guys.
You don't understand.
This is the "Climactic Confrontation" beat.
Which means after this, I only have "Victory" and the Epilogue!
I'm so fucking excited. I so BADLY want to share what's happening!!
All I can say is this chapter is already 2.6k, and I'm only halfway through, so it's going to be on the chonkier side. Which is good, I've had about 10 chapters in a row on the lower end of the spectrum for Darkling's average, but AHHH I'm so excited for *someone* to read this bleeding book now!!
