Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lazybones" data-source="post: 2920116" data-attributes="member: 143">Like another poster above, I came late to the party; I tried reading the story a few years ago but it didn't grab me (too complicated, difficult to follow).  This last week, though, I'd finished my own SH, so with little to occupy my brain I downloaded the PDFs onto my USB drive to read during slow stretches at work. Needless to say, I was very unproductive this week. Having just finished, I'll echo the general kudos on the fine quality of the story. While the writing has gotten stronger over time, the plot twists and the way that many of Sagiro's hooks and threads kept recurring (often in jaw-dropping ways!) were excellent throughout. The characters are very clearly defined, although having read the entire story in a short span of time, I did think that Gray Wolf has sort of faded into the background recently; obviously Dranko hogs the spotlight somewhat but I've found that characters of his type always tend to draw a lot of strong sentiment (either love or hate!) from readers. I find myself drawn in and interested in what happens to these people, which is a mark of good fiction.  The PDFs are excellent, by the way, StevenAC. I liked the sidebars and the little graphics for letters, player handouts, etc. These story hours can be difficult to read as downloaded text, so I definitely am a fan of compilations. My only regret is now that I'm caught up, it looks like the pace of the posting has slowed up some (understandably so, from what Sagiro's posted of his RL situation!). But I did want to thank Sagiro and his players for sharing.</blockquote>
