The structure/perspective lend themselves to the points that nobody is immune to propaganda and that even people with the best intentions can be complicit in perpetuating a super harmful bias/ideology. It’s also a dive into why hero warship is trash and why you should never trust the government. I just want to like Owen so I need him to snap out of it and realize this

I am enchanted by how lyrically this is written. I love the constant format and style changes. It’s ambitious and beautiful. Truly I am so in love with the idea of this.
Unfortunately, I am quickly losing steam with the story itself. Maybe it will win me back over but I’m unsure of that considering I just got jump scared by my least favorite plot trope of all time.

I would also like to add, for the official record, that Owen’s father is a badass and the bravest person in this story. Imperfect? Sure. But aren’t we all.

I’ve never been a fan of ground hogs day plots. This one is an exception but only just. What I’m saying is the point has been driven home. History repeats itself. Please can they kill the fascist now?

I’m also enjoying the general Arthuriana of this. The magic sword, the historian named Montmer, the grail, etc. etc.

Look, I have no doubt that Owen will become unpropogandized obviously, but I’m not sure how I feel about the fascist minister of war being the catalyst for whatever time travel/folklore hallucination situation is potentially about to happen. I suppose I’ll trust the process.

If we are talking about F/M romance, the absolute best pairs are ALWAYS badass woman with weapons being simped over by a nerdy little dude. He’s gotta be bashful and earnest. I’ll be taking no notes.

This is my first time reading anything by Alix E Harrow. Ms. Harrow, I apologize. I was unfamiliar with your game. This is enchanting.
