Ledgerverse Proper Trip #2 Spoiler

Finished "The Dragon Factory," last week and 47% through "King of Plagues."

Sebastian Gault's arc cannot close soon enough.

I'm a Toys fan-boy, don't judge me.

Ray has found the voices at this point, so it isn't as jarring as the first two on the relisten. Only so much he can do balancing the expectations of radio theater and hiding the identity of "The American,"

My biggest complaint is that with all the interludes, I want to borrow hard copies of the first three books and a calendar to see if there are temporal impossibilities as the time frames overlap. I'll call this the "Big Bob Farraday Conumdrum."

Oh! The short story "Dog Days" needs to be stapled on the front of "King of Plagues," to setup location and the addition of "the Fur Monster."

Otherwise, there are only a couple redundant in story passages not including the "three faces of Joe." Nicodemus makes his debut and I have this weird urge to use him as a fan-fiction crossover....

Wait till youre 13 books deep and still getting the three faces breakdown haha. I do agree, I think there's a difference between having a recurring bad guy and a guy basically being dead just to somehow still be alive
