This is such a weird storyline, because it feels simultaneously super messy and confusing but also like it shouldn't be? Characters have mysterious motives and goals that probably shouldn't be mysterious, people have differing pieces of a larger puzzle that don't quite contradict each other as much as they should?
I don't really know how to put it into words, but I liked it. I feel like the atmosphere is a little let down visually - I think there's the seeds of a really fascinating, 'twilight'-tinged story of gods and mortals and what it means to exist but it's carried largely by the writing. I don't quite feel a holistic sense of tone - and tbf, part of this is at least probably playing it 20 years later without all the difficulty of the original.
