Ronald Malfi

And then that really lets you play with subtext a little bit more, which I think is always interesting.

My only experience with second person has come from the book Come With Me by Ronald Malfi.

And he's sort of telling this, well, he's having this dialogue with his wife.

And I think it's in the synopsis for me to say it, but I don't know how loose the spoiler is.

Um, um in like and that comes through the prose as well um it's also just like a master class in elegant literary prose um so yeah that's one of my favorite books of all time

uh i've i've i had mentioned before malazan book of the fallen it's like an extreme version of a multi-pov story that really inspired me joe abercrombie i think is in that same category of books i enjoy obviously chris ferracchio sun eater uh robin hobb playing with first person and getting into multi POV inside of first person and the, a cool use of a magic system, I think is very cool.

Uh, and then come with me by Ronald Malfi, which I also mentioned at the top of a second person story where you're speaking to a dead spouse and, and, the you comes out and I think it's a very interesting emotional hit every time he says you and then the name of his wife.

And it's just like, oh man, that's.

But do you guys have a favorite author?

Ronald Malfi, obviously.

And I would say, again, not to mention him again, but Marcus Cleaver, because he's written serious, planned out books.

I feel like he is up there with, I will always read his book.
