Baldur's Gate II (Boss Fight Books, #8)

📚Matt Bell's Baldur's Gate II (Boss Fight Books, #8) is part lifelong gamer turned writer memoir and part critical analysis of the classic computer RPG. I enjoyed the way the book weaves both threads together and empathized with the author's inner struggle to reconcile his nerdy gaming side with who he felt he should be as an as a successful adult writer. His insights into the game itself were quite good, but his struggle with self acceptance remained a bummer even as he made real progress on that front because we live in a time when everything he agonized over is more normal than ever before.
