I loved the little excerpts from in-universe books added to the story, it gives context to how the surviving members of the High Elf Fleets felt about his attempt to genocide what was left of his race, as well as allowing us, the reader, to realize that people in the universe saw him as an influential figure who ultimately went insane. It evokes ideas similar to Aleksandr Kerensky of Battletech fame, although if he had taken a darker road.
