About this listen
THE PACTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN. THE REBELLION HAS FAILED.
Foolish Cur has fallen into a trap. By resorting to forbidden magic when he failed to overthrow the Emperor, he has done exactly as the gods wanted. Now they are free to wage their war, twisting the world into new forms, as strange and terrible beasts walk the earth.
To fix what he has caused will take every ounce of Foolish Cur's cunning. But mending the pattern of the world is too large a task for one man alone. As the Empire, rebellion and the landscape itself crumble, he and those still fighting for freedom will be drawn together to end the struggle against Emperor Tenet and the gods for good.
But Foolish Cur does not know what such a task will ask of him. And, powerful though he may be, the costs may be more than he is willing to pay . . .
The breath-taking conclusion to the Pact and Pattern series, this British Fantasy Award-nominated story is filled to the brim with magic, mystery and political intrigue.©2023 J.T. Greathouse (P)2023 Orion Publishing Group Limited
1.Not negate the agency of the character but allow him to wrestle with hard choices, not opt for some incredibly ambigous third path.
2.Allow justified violence to be questioned but not condemned on principle
3.Show remorse where earned, not as a default setting.
In conclusion - emotional honesty in writting demands internal consistency but Greathouse dropped the ball in this case. He started very well , with well crafted early beginnings but began fumbling it with this third path nonsense and overwrought self-righteous, self-loathing as any good milennial would. I should know, I am one of them and guilty of the same.
Emotionally dishonest and philosophically naive!
