2.0
good:
-interesting stories and lore about the characters and their backgrounds, but half of them are already deeply explored in the games.
-I liked the usage
of the quotes from documents originally from the game.
bad:
-very predictable plot
-Emily's character is very much written from a male perspective, as in, The emphasis on her
needing to be an empress and a stereotypical feminine ruler,
but also a fighter and assassin, like you can't do both without an emphasis
-the writing in the book explains too much, like I'm a child.
and the metaphors are not very smart or deep as you might expect so that was disappointing. like it felt like there's only predictable action scenes or obvious speculations about the
main antagonist which was boring all throughout the book.
