Hi, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your books.
Something I really like about them is just how real the characters feel. I can recall several moments in your books where characters from the final season either die or go on to do other things and go to other places.
And while the whole death thing sounds morbid, I actually think that it's an interesting world building device. (If that makes sense). I feel like when authors make extended universe stories, it ends up being a nostalgia fest where characters that were dead are actually alive, or characters from other parts of the franchise come into contact with the TWDG cast. I feel it cheapens it because while I do like that, I like your approach much better. where stories progress in a much more lifelike way, people who were important before die, because that's just the way things happen.
I remember Louis in particular because when you wrote in your book that he was attacked and maimed by the ferals, I was genuinely shocked that you would let such a thing happen to a character from the og franchise. But then I realized that was how it should be. Because people get hurt and die in this universe, and you remember that. And while it may sound like the bare minimum because it's how the franchise is, I can't help but think to other fanfics where that doesn't happen.
In short, I think you really capture the essence and reality of the walking dead in your books, and I don't think that many extended universe fanfics do it quite so well as you do In your books. So keep it up!!!
