Bill | 1596 comments I have to agree. It felt like something was missing. I feel like this is kind of suffering from prequel syndrome. I already know the fate of the dead king and the broken empire so this doesn't have the punch it otherwise would have.

While I liked both characters in the beginning they didn't really show any growth during the journey. The lack of any significant secondary characters also left me wishing for more.

David Sven (gorro) | 316 comments I think coming into the last part - the journey was starting to drag a bit. Also, killing Sven is a climax in the main story - but the reasons we want Sven dead are part of the side/back story - so not really invested enough to care if Sven dies or not - unless it happens to be me, then I'm very invested in Sven staying alive.
Still enjoyable and overall I think an improvement in his writing.

Sumant | 522 comments Yep the last part dragged a bit and also taking the whole black fort with help of seven men I think is a bit overkill for me no matter how skilled the warriors are.
