A Critical Dragon | Wars of Light & Shadow: Addressing a Few Complaints @ACriticalDragon | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Recently I discussed Fugitive Prince (Book 4 of The Wars of Light and Shadow) by Janny Wurts with @PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy and @Johanna_reads .
In the comment section, a commenter had expressed their displeasure/dissatisfaction with the series thus far, and had made a number of points explaining why.
While every reader is perfectly entitled to like or dislike a story, and nothing I say can make you like something you don't, I thought was a good opportunity to discuss different aspects of reading and how we think about the narrative in front of us.
So I have attempted to address a number of the concerns that they raised and how I personally think about them, reading concepts that they relate to, and how our individual approaches to understanding narrative and what we personally bring to the table can shape our understanding of the story in front of us.
To be very clear, they are absolutely entitled to have their perspective of the series, to say what they dislike about it, and this is in no way an attempt to say they are wrong in their approach, but they framed many of their complaints in terms of how some aspects are not believable when I believe they are. So I am explaining how I approach a text.
