Oops, I accidentally gave away the entire Feitr’s Guild plot!
So, I appreciate a well-written, three-dimensional villain as much as the next guy, but I feel like a lot of modern stories kinda overdo the whole “no one’s the bad guy in their own story” thing. Like, sometimes people are just assholes and do bad things without being driven by the memory of their dead wife or something.
