I'm personally not a very good judge of what is considered "great storytelling", but I will say that this reeled me in and I had a great time. Props to Ian St. Martin (the author).
Glad you enjoyed! This came up as one of the most requested stories ever, weirdly...
Well, it's done now! And we hired Ian full time as a Rioter :-D
If the reader seeks thrilling fight-porn, then sure it's the story of the year. But if you want something with a bit more emotional investment and some character nuance, then both Warmother and Lux have been far more engaging. Even "From the Ashes" and "At the Edge of the World" still haunt me.
But it's cool that we finally got an official account of Rengar & Kha'zix first conflict. Hopefully though, now that it's been done the writers can do more with either of them than just rinse and repeat fights.
I dind't find it particularly good, as Whyte Lyon wrote IMO the lacks character, and not much happens, especially if you already read the two characters' backgrounds. But I did like how Rengar describes Kha as something otherworldy and wrong (especially the part where he says even the air refuses to touch it :D). It's not badly written, it's just that this kind of story isn't the kind of story I appreciate, I'm more for characters and internal struggles :)
Do you usually read league's lore or did you just happen to read only this story? If so, if you explain what you liked, we could suggest other stories on universe that you could enjoy :)
"Silence for the damned" and "The eye in the abyss" are two of my favourite stories out there :)
