beccaelizabethI relistened to Omega (BFA DW with 5)
which I didnt actually remember at all except for remembering I didnt like it.
I do not like it.
On the one hand it uses the audio format to tell an audio specific story
but on the other I hate it when I the audience feel cheated.
It's a perfectly reasonable way to tell stories, I just always end up sulking about it.
I am also not enthusiastic about the portrayal of mental illness.
That bit had no good parts.
The layer of the story that was about how history and personality depend on the stories we tell ourselves and they are at least as powerful and influential as what actually happened, that was good, but also depressing. Seems like the truth should matter. And yet.
Don't reckon I'll relisten it until I've forgotten it again.
ETA: apparently I gave it 4 stars on librarything and reviewed it positively https://beccaelizabeth.dreamwidth.org/2096449.html . the memory cheats? I just revised it down to 3 because it annoyed me, even though it has lots of good bits.
