Actually, I think that was a typo. I believe the actual title is "On Wings of Shadow".

Indeed. I encourage your muse to crack the whip.

I'm *mostly* the same, I prefer to wait for the whole thing. That said... there are exceptions. If I were to wait for Tuck to be completed, I never would have read it.
Also, in a very broad sense, the entire Whateley universe is a multi-part story. In a more narrow sense, different authors have different concepts of multi-part stories. Some see the division in parts only as a publishing convenience, while others have structural breaks inside, dividing the story in "books" so to speak. Book 1 is complete, Book 2 might take months to come and so on...
So, when there is a reasonable timeframe, I wait to read the whole thing in one big chunk. That's the case for Rodford Edminston's "Masks" stories, for instance -- he usually posts the entire story in no more than a few weeks. But if the timetable is very long, and I feel the author is "good for it" (I have been left hanging with unfinished stories too many times...), I will read a multi-part story chapter by chapter rather than wait possibly years for it.
Don't call me Shirley. You will surely make me surly.
