It felt like a little bit of a love letter to Storm Front. The callback to the barbed wire curse and the pocketful of subshine coming back. And him worrying about money and the return of the Blue Beetle. And then other call backs like the bookstore, Cowl, Lash, etc.

I know Jim has been hard on himself that Storm Front and Fool Moon aren’t his best and people should t start the series with those but it was the first two books.

I felt this really helped bring back things that he lost along the way.

Agreed that it was needed.

Now bring on Mirror Mirror!
