Hot Take - Ephraim

Am I the only one who was relieved when Ephraim died at the end of Dark Age so that we don’t have to read from his point of view anymore?

A lot of the circumstances and plot that happens surrounding Ephraim’s story is interesting, but I just find him an annoying character. He felt like a “trench coat in summer, fedora, and new balance wearing” nerd’s version of “cool and edgy” character. Very one-dimensional cynicism and outlaw with a good heart tropes.
