Genitivi Dies at the End

• It ws so good until that last blurb. Leaving the reveal of Brother Genitivi as the Dowager was enough of a postmodern deconstruction.

Rasaan should have been a part of DATV, especially the Antiva arc.

We love petty writers, and writers writing pettily about petty writers.

The Wigmaker Job

• My biggest regret is we got more of this Lucanis in DATV. There’s a ruthlessness here that I would have loved to have seen explored more.

The modified “One for sorrow” poem is a nice touch.

The phrase “…racist blood mages” feels rather modern, though not inaccurate.

Back when the Crows could be portrayed as cruel.

The Streets of Minrathous

• Not a lot to say about this one. I did find it interesting how an extremist group can break down into different factions.

• Idk if it’s my opinions on Neve filtering through, or the fact that I’ve read so much Dresden Files that mage detectives are held to a high standard, but the noir vibe didn’t click.

I wish we saw these “mage-based justicars” in DATV

Murder by Death Mages

• Really, not much to say on this one. Nevarran politics is patently absurd.
