Stalking Darkness - Chapter Twenty-Four

[kalinara]

Sorry, this one's a bit late. It's been a busy week.

So last time, we came face to face with Seregil's backstory. We also had a surprising reveal about Alec. Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. I don't mind it as a trait, it does make sense for him and it adds something interesting to explore later.

I don't think the reveal was executed particularly well though. We've been in the point of view of characters who, we're told, figured it out right away. And there wasn't a mention of it, there really wasn't much by way of a hint either. I can appreciate that Flewelling likely wanted to save the reveal for the audience - and it's not a bad one. But the execution wasn't the greatest.
