I have to admit, I like it both ways, without the pictures and with the pictures.

I guess I just feel you got a little deeper into the story line in the chapters
without pictures.  I like the progression you've done from the start of the story
with only have one picture and some text on a page to having 3 or 4 pictures and
text on a page, you have some time to relax and think about the story without
'flipping' pages so fast.    I might suggest you rework those early pages into
the
format you've grown into in the last few chapters. (I know, it's a lot of work!)

I know I wouldn't mind a couple more chapters without pictures, if you'll take us
deeper into the plot of the story.  Though, this late into the story that might
not
be possible.  Of course I do very much enjoy the eye candy of your pictures, your
editing is superb on the pictures and they tell a lot without even reading the
story.

Just my 2 bricks :)
