A fantastic game with great lore, fun characters and well designed puzzles. I've been following this series and the quality of the games is just superb. I especially liked that we got to experience the POVs of different characters just like in a fantasy novel. Also appreciate the nods to Wheel of Time through the characters names (and Cosmere too? Alethi/variation of Kaladin/Breath?). Very well done! Looking forward to the next in the series.

Thanks! Yeah I felt like multiple POVs was a natural progression for the fantasy theme. Though I don't want it to become as sprawling as WoT! The Breath stuff came out of liking the way Robert Jordan and particularly Brandon Sanderson come up with a "magic system" that's based on core rules, it seemed like something that'd translate well to a game. I need to read more of Brandons books. I read mistborn like 10 years ago but actually never read more until last week when I read Tress of the Emerald Sea. But his writing podcast is amazing to listen to.
Let me know any recommendations, hard to know what to pick up next, but I'm in the mood for more fantasy atm!
Well, Warbreaker is a good standalone novel that has a magic system involving breath and color. The Emperor's Soul is also a very well written short story that won him a Hugo. But if you're looking for a series then I can't recommend Stormlight Archive enough, it's his best work yet. It's still not finished (with 4 books out and the 5th one coming next year) but of all the fantasy authors, I'm least worried about Sanderson finishing his book series.
