i want the special edition so bad someone buy it for me :(

pros:
- characters + their development
- initial worldbuilding
- relationship dynamics
- innovative concept

cons:
- hoid's narration style and cut-ins felt disconnected from the story
- felt like the ending upheaval was too abrupt in both its initiation and conclusion
- very tell>show, especially regarding the character development and the final plot twists
