In Response To: Re: Couple of things... (Archilen)


: Traviss' view is clearly more edgy and cynical,
: and while people tend to welcome that as more realistic, I think I'll take
: old-fashioned idealism over cynicism any day.

YES. precisely. I'm teased for a sunny disposition, but I prefer the even keel observational writing over taking one side in a particular story. I'd prefer to get both sides if we have to go cynical, but I felt like it was only the anti-halsey side presented here. The sections written from her POV didn't have enough of what nylund put in his own writing and her journal. Basically it comes down to this: presenting her self-doubt isn't sufficient to represent her thoughts on the matter. I would have still needed the gray area between where she is 100% self righteous + lashing out and where she is wrecked by her guilt.
