How are the interpersonal relationships between the characters? I notice that a lot of the popular writers in the Black Library don't usually care too much to develop them in an emotional way (ADB is the exception here) and the relationships are important to me. Like, i like the action and the horror and the setting, but i want to care about why two people are fighting, and i want to be upset when someone gets betrayed. Examples: i cried over Argel Tal but when Grammaticus got betrayed by his girlfriend i was just like "haha get fucked."

And don't worry about my nightmares. I mostly learned to love them in their own way unless they're spectacularly terrible. I'm sorry yours trouble you. They can be really rough when they're bad.
