#it seems literally every other company cares more about consistency than ubi

This book had been sitting on my nightstand for about 9 years, but I’ve finally read it!

Although I’ve played the entire Survivor Trilogy and read the comics Season of the Witch, Secrets and Lies, and Queen of Serpents years ago, when they came out, I don’t consider that I dove deep enough into the Tomb Raider lore to properly assess how consistent The Ten Thousand Immortals really is with everything else, but I enjoyed the book and thought its story was gripping.

What I also enjoyed was the foreword, in which they say:

The novel must satisfy the Tomb Raider community, a wonderful, passionate group of people around the world. They love Lara Croft, and can be fiercely protective of her history, quickly letting us know about any inaccuracies or incongruities they find. (…) Was there anything in the novel that contradicted something from the origin story timeline and events? Not that we could find, but we're sure the fans will let us know if we missed something...

I didn’t note any major inconsistencies in the novel, which features a lot of characters who never appear in the games anyway, but I appreciate the fact they basically said, “Look, we promise we tried to make this perfect, and we’re sorry if it’s not.”

This shows they care about their universe and their fans, and I like that.
