One thing I liked about the writing was that almost every chapter could be read as a self-contained short story, in that the chapters have a craft to them that you don’t normally get. It’s a big bonus for people unused to reading huge books. Another thing I always liked was the superb characterizations. The reader is led to believe early on that these are the “good guys” and these are the “bad guys”, only to have that concept tossed out the window as the story moves along.
I have this exact copy as it was gifted by a work friend and the other copies from when the show picked up. A lot of youtubers and other readers usually think the books are pessimistic but as alt shift x says i do think they're about the human condition and how hard life can be but in a way the love of family/positive emotion prevails and i am hoping that somewhat encanpsulates the ending but being bittersweet also and for the more darker endings the moral implications of their actions in the game. Love your comparison of it being the ghost of a fairytale. Would reccomend looking into some theory vids from alt shift glidus preston jacobs and fantasy haven and quinn the gm
