  • If I’m not mistaken you’re talking about plot rather than writing. I’m talking about the crackling dialogue and the incredible acting that carries it. It almost Shakespearean at times.

    “The Dragons dance and men are like dust under their feet. And all our fine thoughts, all of our endeavors are as nothing. We march now toward our annihilation… To die will be a kind of relief.”

    I mean. Come the fuck on!!! That’s top draw writing if ever it happened! Particularly when it comes from such a headstrong character.

    The eldritch imaginings of Herrenhall are obviously pretty weird (wyrd maybe even) and I understand that can be polarising, but it had some real Macbeth energy that I’m also very much down for.

    In terms of plot, because of the great writing the repositioning of factions and characters was fascinating to me. The way and the why each of those new positions arrived kept me utterly hooked.
