I don't know how to comment on my gift. It does not get the character voices right at all. Nobody sounds like themselves, and they all sound like each other. Plus the text is strangely robotic but like in an M Night Shyamalan way, not an actual AI way. Yet also the psychology of the characters, their wants and needs and flaws, are all demonstrated perfectly. Like it's very clear that they have thought a great deal about minute details of canon and constructed moments of note perfect motivation, and then they've given those lines to an amateur theatre group who don't quite know how to say their lines in a human fashion.

Comment enthusiastically on the psychology and your shared love of canon and then be free to go find something better in the rest of the collection.
