Thread five... this is long, very long, but it doesn't drag at all. You keep everything flowing well and the development is ongoing which makes the length less noticable, indeed it just means you have more stronger characters.
I enjoyed the bit of backstory, goblins seem to have it in for our Julian. It gives slightly more prespective on what she is now and what lead there. Her comment about home is an interesting one, it goes a long way into her psyche, not so much revealing anyhting but just confirming what was already developed.

Look behind you and see an ever decreasing number of ghosts. Currently about 15.
