It is only until fb users comment that I'd realized what I did. I have actually done that style in some of my short stories but not deliberately. Of course, he deliberately did it and delivered it so effectively. That's what the author does to me, making me have my own private game to play. And if reading twice isn't enough, I had to read more before I'm confident with my "answer". I have to double my way back reading before I could take a guess. That's why I would read slowly and carefully when a character is being described (without mentioning the name) or a coversation takes place describing something. But then more so because of the grander explanation as things are revealed in this last book of the series.įor the tiny details that will evoke some emotions, Michael Sullivan has a style of writing that would mislead you. Everything has been laid out from the beginning that realizing those hunches to be true is actually surprising because of the added drama. Instead of being surprised at what the characters have in their sleeves, you'd be anticipating as to what they'd do in the future and be curious at what they'd done in the past. And thus, the intimacy of all the characters ever mentioned to the readers. that the series was intended to be read by his then 13-year old dyslexic daughter. That's where the author's original intentions show.
Or that the main protagonists already know some relevant characters say within the enemies' lair from the past which I find both comical and too good to be true. Or that one way or another, one character in this place will surely know a character in another place. A method I noticed by the author is that each character encountered is utilized at every turn across the whole of Apeladorn (the human territory). As what can be expected from an epic fantasy story. This is one pacifistic series where everything will turn out well in the end. There's no growing anticipation as to how the story would end because I already have all the copies and it's just a matter of time before I move on from one book to the next unlike when you are waiting for an author to finish writing the book and be there on the queue on the first day of release in the bookstore (like I did for Harry Potter). You know that when fans are so into a series, they'd feel as if they're part of the story. It would have been better If I was there on its first day of release (or discover the series when the second book's the latest) rather than start reading it a couple of years after the series has finally ended because it feels as if I was lacking in the journey and therefore, am not part of the book.
Or shall I be sad that it's over? One thing I regretted reading this series is that I didn't come across it in its prime.
Shall I be relieved that I'm finally done with the journey? Yes, I couldn't say happy. I don't really know how to feel finishing this series.
