Simple. It’s excellent. Writing, narration, world, all of it. I’ve played RPGs for well over 20 years. I enjoy MMOs but really they never had enough story for me, too much filler, too much social interaction, too much desperate ploy to grab $ from the lonely masses. This is an epic RPG novel. Can’t wait for the next book. Character development is not so much the thing, but character expansion, world building, plot line, story development, those are the keys, and it unlocks.
No spoilers here. I am critical about my stories. This story punches mystics in the face.
