Through the Living Elan

Yeah, I think some of the sound effects and descriptions were a bit graphic, especially since the main audience seems to have been teenagers. I can understand why it would be shocking and intense if you weren't expecting it . . . It doesn't bother me too much, but I'm not easily bothered by violent sound effects and that kind of thing.

It was shorter then I thought it be, if I'm honest. 

My favorite song was the last one though, it was very powerful.

I think the narrative could've been a bit clearer on the fact that Ody is a morally grey character, at some points it felt like they were justifying his actions, but i think it pulled through at the end to some degree. There's only so much you can convey with song lyrics, and i don't know how experienced Jorge is at storytelling, and moral framing in narratives.

I'm not one of the people who is obsessed with it, but like eddie I find it really engaging for storytelling. That and it's re-ignited my interest in actual ancient Greek myths. I've thrifted a copy of the Iliad to read because of this, and I'm excited to go deeper. Without Epic, that wouldn't have happened.

Oh Elan if you ever run across our team at a tournament, I have a writer friend with an absolutely killer informative about modern storytelling based on classics and she talks about Epic vs the Odyssey, you could yap with her.

Funnnn

Yeah there are some changes
