#um.txt #when the new da game was announced i said okay. ill read the tie-in novels because sometimes you literally can't understand #shit that goes on in the game otherwise #and holy shit. they do get better in quality i think bc i ended up skipping ahead to the recent short story collection and #it's like. not great but inoffensive.#the first book tho? written by the lead writer? one of the worst things ive ever read. screenwriter who cant write #prose does carry over to games writing. also he's a kripkeesque gay misogynist which made it worse #sorry i forgot my original point. im fussy with SF but nk jemisin's writing made me feel crazy
