The addition to exerts and journal entries are great. It doesn’t slow down the near perfect pacing. story continues and this book has an Arc that basically goes around the various parts of the colony with a new Ant Champion. its the slowest oace but not in a bad place of the book. it continues with the good stuff right after and gives you a good enough update with whats going on in the colony itself and you get to learn of the growth of Renewal and some of the people.
