So Talker and Brian gets their hard earned Happily Ever After, but I'm not fully satisfied with third instalment of their story. It seems to me that too much is untold: in one moment Talker gives Brian clay and the next moment Brian is already fully developed artist. The same thing happened with moving to a new home. Narrative jumps from present to future keep ripping me out of the story's flow. In fact, the whole book looks to me more like a collection of glimpses for epilogue. 
 As a separate story Talker's Graduation does not defend itself, but in conjunction with the earlier parts make heart-warming story.
