Rather than diving deep into the background info of the setting, he catches us off guard by revealing the issue to be connected with smaller circumstances but equally dangerous results. It takes the "sins of our fathers will be paid with our children," approach to the narrative and in my opinion worked out rather well. I imagine any route Hickman would... Read more |
