The fact that the assassins/intelligencers of the slave-holding Imperium are called the Siccari.

The historic Sicarii was a Jewish group of assassins possibly affiliated with the Zealots. I feel I really shouldn’t have to spell out why naming the branch of the pseudo-Roman Imperium after them is a faux pas.

I. Miss. Charter.

Half Up Front

• Epler had such a habit of inserting very modern phrased (“hell”) and sentence structures that it takes me right out of the story. Really presages the writing issues with DATV.

• Honestly, this story just feels like a reminder of all the dropped plot threads.

“Would’ve been weird, otherwise, and a little too Recounted on my part to ignore the class dynamics in play.”

Sometimes Epler writes like he just got out of a college seminar.

Eight Little Talons

• This is my favorite story bar none. The Agatha Christie of it all, learning more about the history of Antiva, the ruthlessness of the Crows, the tension between Teia and Viago, the strong character work.

“Sharp claws of metal rose ands fell until each Crow got their pound of flesh” is such a fucking poetic line.

Most horse girl thing is naming your horse after an Archdemon

I wish we had Viago and his dapper cane in game.
