kalinaraSo last time, we learned that the Fellowship is really fucking terrible. So are their adversaries, so I'm stuck, reluctantly supporting those assholes. Ugh.
It's funny to me. I am honestly not sure if Ms. Wurts intends the Fellowship to be as aggravating as they are to me. She's not a subtle writer, by any means, but she is pretty thorough, and as we see at the beginning of this chapter and earlier instances, she generally does seem to anticipate a lot of reader complaints/questions about their motivations.
But they're still presented pretty uncritically, with the only callouts (while valid) coming from characters who are objectively worse. Or at least doing more direct harmful things.
( I suppose we may only know by the end...in May! )
