MSQ Thoughts now that I finally finished it.
Not a fan of the Solus reveal AT ALL. I know that Zenos being a monster was an overcorrection for people who sided with Gaius but did they have to go THIS far? I liked the Empire more as an organization with a good goal but bad means of pursuing it. This is just too much. At least Varis is still potentially interesting but I have a feeling he'l become an ally against the ascians, or assassinated for Elidibus!Zenos to take the throne.

Still I'll take this over the Yotsuyu/Asahi debacle, 4.2 and 4.3 were low points for me story wise.
