It again feels rather like cheating to count this as a book I read, being so short, but more important is the fact that it's not meant to be read on its own. It's written in an odd style, intentionally confusing, hard to follow, lacking background information and constantly broken up by all those notes appearing even in the middle of sentences, including descriptions apparently pulled right out of the game that aren't suited for a book. That said, there are some interesting elements, at least enough to make the reader curious, and the discussion about Gods can be said to stand out and make some good points. And the comment about language is spot-on.

Don't expect something conventional and you should be fine. Or do expect something conventional and revel in confusion. I definitely *loved* this short novel, especially in the context of the game series worldbuilding and lore. It is wonderfully confusing, but, like the scroll described in the story, it is telling much with what it describes, what it does not describe and how it describethese things. And how it does not describe the things it doesn't describe.
Especially in the context of what the god "Wael" represents in the game series lore, it is perfectly fitting.
