One of my very few gripes with SUT

SPOILERS Shadows Upon Time

Hadrian will spend pages repeatedly lecturing people about morality and faith, whole paragraphs dedicated to whether or not he should use the sun eater. thoughts are revisited over and over again.

Then at the end he basically says:

"oh how did I return from the dead again and make it to the ending of this huge series, Colchis?"

"Dont even worry about it , I've spent too long writing this story as is, You wouldn't be interested in my third resurrection I'm sure, anyway I'm out."

I would have happily exchanged half of his lectures for just a few more paragraphs, filling out how he got yo Colchis. It definitely left me at a bit of a loss as to why Christopher wouldn't just close the narrative loop cleanly, felt a bit messy/rushed to me.

That being said I know landing a plane of this size is no mean feat, and I think Ruocchio did a good job all things considered. Thoroughly enjoyed SUT regardless.
