Talk shit get hit, Garrus

While you are correct here, "realistic" storytelling isn't necessarily "better" storytelling. The audience would get extremely tired extremely quickly if they were stonewalled by all of their former companions and treated with nothing but suspicion right off the bat. In the interest of expediency, Kaidan/Ashley were the sacrificial lambs of realism, and everyone else represented what the audience wanted - a heartfelt reunion with friends.

Yes, I agree with this and am aware of why it panned out as it did. I don't mean to have everyone go hard on Shep as Ash/K, but to varying degrees at least. There are 8 returning allies from the SR1 - including Joker, Dr. Chakwas, and Anderson. Barring Liara, who was involved in Shep’s recovery, everyone else besides Ash/K do not show the slightest bit of doubt in Shep’s identity or in Shep’s survival after the destruction of the Normandy. It stretches the suspension of disbelief a little too far. 

What do you think? :P

I love my job, he repeated to himself, without the slightest hint of sarcasm. He just needed to keep reminding himself.

Lemorn Literary Works is excited to announce that we will be celebrating Canada's 150th birthday by releasing more Canadian made fiction. Red Blossoms the Sky is the debut novel from Tyramir Ross, who previously headlined our short story anthology Next Year, Things will be Different.

 Red Blossoms the Sky

"Among the ruins of civilization, there stands the city of Berlose. Its people struggle to survive under the tyranny of the Seirath family. Uprisings are quickly quashed by Seirath's genetically enhanced soldiers, the Lotuses, but those same Lotuses now must question their loyalty as new threats coalesce.

The Lady of the Storms gains the public's adoration even as she defies its leaders.

The Gargoyle hunts royal prey, and climbs a ladder of blood and bone to power.

Old Man Seirath himself threatens the city with his madness and vision.

A Weapon of Old emerges that may not just upset the balance of power in the city, but threaten to decimate the newly reforged civilization entirely. And it has been stolen.

The sky darkens, and the distant trumpet of thunder has been sounded."

 About the Author

"Tyramir Ross was born with a real name that is not this pen name somewhere in Canada. A recluse and hermit, he prefers that you'd read his book to discover who he is, as that has more clues to his character and psyche than any mundane listing of geographical and historical factoids ever could. "

 You can find the author here on Tumblr @tyramir (and see the progress on his next book!)

This epic novel will be available electronically on Smashwords July 1st. The book will be $8.99 on release but will be available for 25% off as part of the Smashwords Summer/Winter sale.
