10 - Thief 4 - Empty Finale
Live commentary isn't the best place for literary criticism, so here's a summary of the points I clumsily tried to bring up:
- Too many characters, story elements and parts of the worldbuilding are superficial or easily missable, which leads to an uninteresting and unengaging narrative
- We're told the stakes instead of being shown what Orion wants to do and what it will result in, which is poor storytelling
- Erin is more of a plot device than an actual character, so her "this is my story, not yours anymore" moment seems, at best, like wishful thinking
