Underground was fantastic. It takes a lot of self-control to refrain from editorializing and just let the victims speak for themselves. Very different kind of read. Yeah, book 2 was fantastic and I would have been more than happy to  have the story wrap up there. Adding another character and resolving the Aomame/Tengo…

I'm prettysure it's cause I was so damned nervous and earnest. Listening back, I think it was ended right when it needed to be. Just glad I can be part of the Staten Island Garbage Rats animated intro rolling in my head right now.
