Holy shit, alright, I've only just read through to leaving Eboncrest, and WOW the writing!! Aldric and Elara's back and forth, their chemistry, is written so well, as is the way everyone clearly looks up to and respects Aldric with the varying conversations he has with children and other townsfolk on the way out.
The descriptive language for Whisperwind (sharp enough to split sunlight) evokes the kind of beautiful 'cutting-through-the-air' hum you would expect of an enchanted blade. And the way the world is being set up with "Ephemerals" just being mentioned, "thank Flux" as a relieved statement, "Send them to Sheol" as a well-wishing from guards to a hero on an extermination job, without any of that being blatantly described in text when mentioned like I've seen and even done, is magnificent. Special regard to the way the forest is described as being an "old growth that remembers when goblins were just bad dreams" which gives my druid-loving brain such a thrill from the ancient weight that simple description adds to the world.
Like. Wow. I come to this site to get decent interactive porn. I'll be blunt because it's the honest truth that we're all sharing in.
But the writing of this is AMAZING, genuinely, and thus far has me sitting here like:
