The Miserable End Of Fiction - Reviews

"...." Sara. 'No clue that your friend is this deceiving eh??' she addressed herself and scoffed. But what she couldn't Figure out was the reason 'WHY' with all the capital letters.

"I can sense it," said the woman. She drew closer, but Fang couldn't make out very many details about her. Her robes covered her in an almost distorting aura, keeping her body hidden, but her face struck him still. It was beautiful to a haunting extent, as if some higher force had personally carved a doll meant to be as pretty as possible, as out of reach from humankind as possible, unnatural and yet lovely to the highest extent.

"Well, to be honest I'm probably gonna kill every man woman and child. Look regardless of whether you tell me or not, i'm going to get there no matter what."

Is his friendship toward me unimpaired? Does he not view my attachment to Charlotte as an infringement upon his rights, and consider my attention to her as a silent rebuke to himself?

I dont write reviews for books. I've read plenty of the greats from shadow slave, kill the sun, the mech touch, the legendary mechanic, lord of mysteries, etc. but I've never written a review. that being said, this is underrated as fuck. maybe not yet quite to the level of shadow slave or lord of mysteries, but it's definitely getting there. one of the biggest points i enjoy is the subversion of expectations, i dont know how else to put it, but it's always enjoyable. It's also never hamfisted or forced by coincidental plot armor, It feels authentic and takes itself seriously.
