Ok, I'm ready to say it: overall this might be my favorite saga of the author. Yes, even when the burnout.
Why's that?
Why's that?
- The narrator is great. Funny, a liar, pathetic. It's clever and I kinda get what about them could be god-like.
- Characters we knew and loved got the chance to come back and take the spotlight.
(It does make me wonder just how much complaints the author might've received on that end. You know, just how much of it was fan service.)
- The constant recognition that a change had occurred and how that would have been face by a "younger" version of the grown characters.
- We're again introduced to new characters which get enough time to be fleshed out in the page.
As for some things that I didn't quite like, I'll mention the villains.
There's one more thing that I like which I'll mention separately from the list above: I liked the ending. That's a first for me with this author. I think he finally nailed the feeling of finality. (Funnily enough, that last chapter comes with a "godly" warning as to read the sections in whichever order the reader sees fit. I suspect he has been told about his endings enough.) I'm not sure how I feel about the individual contents of each section (in one, a thing that has bother me, content wise, since the last book of the prior saga, is referred and called up as "a thing to fix". Like so, several things were sort of... Nudged in a direction which I suspect comes, again, from listening to the readers and, to an extent, from fan service —there's a difference, I promise—).
I'm gonna miss this saga. I'm gonna miss these characters. And... God spare me, I'm gonna miss the haikus.
