Ahh. Now this delves a little more deeply into John and who he actually is. I'm beginning to think that the stories should have been bundled together Ahh. Now this delves a little more deeply into John and who he actually is. I'm beginning to think that the stories should have been bundled together and read as a set. I mean, that's what I'm doing anyway, but I think it could have been more clear that they're meant to go together.
I'm liking this inch-by-inch way that we're being indoctrinated into the world. These short stories give just enough to get you through the story, to understand, and give a little background. Not much more. And that's perfect.
I enjoyed the story here, which ties in with the previous prequel, and can't wait to see where it goes next.
Overall Prequels Thoughts (0.1-0.7) While most of these stories stand alone well, I would recommend reading the 1st and 2nd together, and the 6th and 7th together as well (and don't expect everything, or even the main thing, to be tied up and resolved in these last couple). They're snapshots in John Charming's life, and a moment in time while he deals with a new monster. I'm intrigued and pulled in, while still being somewhat frustrated, and am looking forward to reading the first full-length novel, Charming.
I'm really excited to learning more about the world, the knights, John, and what the hell is going on with the open-ended stuff left hanging from these last two short stories!
