Some observations not included, indeed. I'm intrigued to find out why the reporter's leaving out observations. As a state worker, the bureaucratic language felt very well done on a satirical level. Also, Sorrel Ashwick is a dope name.

So glad you are enjoying this. Keep me posted as you follow the series.

I like how this is developing. On one day, we are looking through Sorrel's eyes, and the next through Mrs. Ivers'.

I am so glad you are seeing the echo selections as a valuable addition. My intention is to give the reader insight to the characters thoughts. Each chapter is structured this way.

In my mind I almost watch this like a split-screen. It's reminiscent of Clint Eastwood's companion pieces "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letter from Iwo Jima".

That is a great way to put it.
