It was fine. 
 It made me really appreciate all the more how well Cecil can deliver Fink's words. It was distracting to read Fink in my own voice. I would get to the end of a paragraph and then reflect, "Oh, I bet Cecil would have read it like this ... " 
 I like that the story focussed more on the supporting characters. Makes sense. I don't know whether it would work to have Cecil, for example, be the protagonist. In general, he tends to passively observe more than than actively participate. 
 I think the title bothers me. I don't think the book was good enough to stand on its own as the one and only, definitive WTNV novel. If it had instead been something like "King City: A Welcome to Night Vale Novel," I would probably rate it higher. That way it would have been merely an episode, much like an episode of the podcast. Instead, we have THE Night Vale book, and I guess I don't like the feeling of it being that contained, so clearly defined, so open and closed.
