HOWEVER, i do believe this story is better to read AFTER Vicious, because it really is a tease-the character we are introduced to here does not appear in the book for REASONS, and all the sympathy schwab makes us feel towards him and his situation is for naught, a bait-and-switch serving as a means to introduce Vicious' real herovillain.Īs a standalone, the ending is too abrupt and inconclusive to be satisfying, but if you know who this guy is, showing up at the end with his mumbo-jumbo, i reckon it's a lot more rewarding. Silly of me, really, since TIL that this story was posted as a teaser before Vicious was released, so a familiarity with the world was not necessary. I'd forgotten about this story! i'd bookmarked it as a potential december short story advent calendar-story last year since i'd finally read Vicious and wouldn't be all adrift in this world but then i forgot all about it come advent-calendar-time, so it's rather a good thing that there wasn't a new tor shorty posted this week, allowing me the chance to rediscover it and get back into the spirit of the series.

It was reflex, self-defense, a hand raised against a hand. But in truth, on the odd occasion I’m not typing away, I’m probably baking cookies, or watching BBC shows, or wandering.She went to slap him and he caught her wrist. These days, when someone asks me what I do when I’m NOT writing, I just kind of laugh nervously. When I’m not haunting Paris streets or trudging up English hillsides, I’m usually tucked in the corner of a coffee shop, dreaming up monsters. I also suffer from a wicked case of wanderlust, made worse by the fact that wandering is a good way to stir up stories.
Because of this, I have been known to say “tom-ah-toes”, “like”, and “y’all”. I am the product of a British mother, a Beverly Hills father, and a southern upbringing. Publishers: Disney*Hyperion, Tor, Scholastic Literary Agent: Holly Root at Waxman Literary
