I do agree with this. It’s supposed to be like the Author in S4 which was set up in the first half and resolved in the second but the big difference is that we had been searching for the Author since S1. It wasn’t just suddenly brought up in S4 and resolved in the same.
Exactly. The author and the book itself was a mystery since the show started and it centered around all the characters. Right now, since Aladdin allegedly gave up his savior powers, their story has literally nothing to do with anyone other than themselves. I really liked that the author storyline played out for the whole season in season 4 and I get what they are trying to do here but it’s just not the same.
