Never has a book made me feel as much as this one. I am distraught, empty and absolutely amazed having finished this. G3 made me relate to things which I didn't even notice I experience. He got in deep with my heart's most closely gaurded desires and pains; all while masterfully and seemlessly weaving it into a character's every day experience. I wish there was more. I deeply love Shadow Slave but can't help but wish the author was unconstrained by audience and want to see how his pure creativity looks like after having experienced what I can only call a masterpiece. Also, since you have the room to flesh out a story and world, SS doesn't have to end sad to end well, true to itself and memorable. I kept seeing SS get better as the chapters go on, and a big reason for that is that you are amazing at capitalising on the built up familiarity your readers have with the world. Time can be spent enjoying what is already built. My major regret for this book is that we never got to experience that here, as that could have given space for a more satisfying ending to feel right. Look at you making me care about your characters to the point of ranting like this.
