I also appreciated the fact that I had learned about the order's uncomfy feelings about murder, which enhanced my sense of shame about the whole killing thing. Nice job."},{"author_name":"garygreen","author_uid":"13914","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 8:45pm","epoch":1461012000,"text":"Nice work. I enjoyed your writing style and humour.

The writing was punchy and often entertaining. The world building was good but not overbearing. You avoided the combinatorial explosion adeptly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My one criticism is that it isn't explained to me until the end why I am supposed to kill the king. It is implied at points, but never outright stated. I don't like making decisions for a character who knows more than me about their situation.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very good work!"},{"author_name":"nintendoeats","author_uid":"22819","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 2:09pm","epoch":1461506640,"text":"and by the way: nuh nuh nuh nuh NUUUUUUUUUUH nahnuh. nuuuuuuuuh nahnuh."},{"author_name":"Capitals","author_uid":"28209","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 2:13pm","epoch":1461506880,"text":"Entertaining story. A couple of pieces of dialogue were a bit jarring. For example, how you use a piece of card to keep the door open.

That decision had so much weight it took me a while to decide. I think I made the correct decision as the king is dead now (not by my blade)!
