This was still not a good book but once again I had fun with it.
I think it’s super important to say that I don’t think these will be enjoyable for anyone who isn’t at least superficially aware of the game lore. The plot lines are unhinged and nonsensical and low key I don’t think there was a single thing explained well enough to be understood without knowing the games. I do think this was better written than book 2 (which was a fucking train wreck let’s be honest) but that still doesn’t mean it was good.
I did enjoy how this book ended and it aligned with my expectations and predictions pretty cleanly but I think the journey was a bit rougher than I’d have hoped. I do think it felt consistent with the games in that the first instalment was simple, clear and easy to follow (whilst also dropping in crazy tidbits of lore) and that as the series continued it got consistently murkier and more far fetched. I say this as someone who laps up the games and subsequent lore: this series is ridiculous, the lore is convoluted and inconsistent, and no one theory remains cohesive and consistent under careful scrutiny. The book followed this equation perfectly.
Once again, I think this book is a fun little piece of bonus content - a cute DLC if you will - for lore gremlins like myself. But he warned: this is not especially well written and if you are not familiar with the existing lore, this will make little to no sense to you as a plot line (and even then be warned that this is not canon to the games, but os canon to a side universe I believe).
