Status Updates From Legacy of Light (The Legacy...

What a ballsy way to end the trilogy tbh. So many poetic swings taken.

That trainwreck-in-slow-motion I mentioned last time?

Yeah that’s been this whole back half lmao

Man everything since right around the half way point has been watching a train crash in slow mention. Heartwrenching.

Didn’t have time to read yesterday, but making progress again! Aiming to finish by end of week.

Despite borrowing a lot from the political nature of the first book as well as the manner of primary political conflict from the second book, so many little intricate character (and political) dynamics mean that *everything* in this book is still so fresh and rewarding. So familiar, but never repetitive. Fits the major themes so well.

This trilogy is looking an awful lot like an unmitigated masterpiece to me!

Man. So many aspects of the story are looking so much different than they did at the start. I have scarcely a guess at where precisely this is going in several regards.

I’m really liking the slowburn aspect of this so far! Somewhat reminiscent of the first one, but ramping up conflict tension in a pretty different way too 👀

Given this book takes place over a month where book 2 takes place over like a week, we’ll see how the continued pacing decisions hold up!

Aight so the last week has been…something. But I have finally had occasion and the mindset both to continue.

Book is already shaping up quite well and somewhat unexpectedly. Though I will undoubtedly not be able to finish before the turn of the month, I am excited for more!
