I have to say that reeled off in isolation all the narrative decisions of the previous paragraph sound absolutely book-destroying, on the level of Don't Bother to Bury Your Gays, I Just Dropped This Mountain on Them. I am now impressed that the book works as well as it does. (The fanfic impulse toward history makes sense to me and I am glad the author is not apologizing for it!)

I should have hated this book, honestly.
