I think it's something like this: I like EPUs stuff, and have for the better part of 20 years now (I found you guys from a link from Pendor in the mid 90s). I read, re-read, and do, in fact, think about the structure and character arc and interactions. I used to even do line by line (or at least much more exhaustive) reads of all the new stuff. I don't have time for that anymore, but it's still fun to read a breakdown by someone who *does* have time (or, I guess, is more willing to make that time<1>). And NXE is still I think my favorite of the EPU works as a whole. And Merc is *really* good at the whole critical breakdown of a work. So, uhh..yeah. That may have been a dumb idea <2>, but I stand by it. It'd be fun to read.

<1> Want an incredible example of this? Read the Jo Walton re-read of the Patrick Rothfuss books. So much detail that I missed

<2> Especially not knowing the back story
