For me 'parts' each month won't cut it. Even a 'slow' read rarely takes a month.
The Webscription parts are just pre-publication parts. The full e-book is available about 2 weeks before print - and of course if you are willing to pay more, you can get the full e-arc for 15$ 4-5 months in advance.

For example 1635-Dreeson is December, so in late September/early October you will have half available if you buy the December Webscription. But you can read 25% now for free and pay 15$ to read the full book about 4 months before release. Not a bad deal compared to buying print arcs on Ebay.

Incidentally this one is a must for everyone enjoying the superb alt-hist series by E. Flint and collaborators since it ties all the internal threads to date. No battles or big picture international politics though, but a lot of fun. I read it in an evening despite being quite long...
