Some of the strongest plotting I've seen, three of my favourite characters ever and much much more, needless to say I love The House in Fata Morgana. It started off pretty weak for me but the later parts were just so, so good. It kept getting better and peaked at the end, truly, as it's climax is my favourite moment of all time. Despite all this, my favourite aspect is not any of the above but the strong thematic core of the story which resonated with me deeply and is the reason it's probably my favourite story ever.
