I didn't realise until I was reading this that it was set *after* book #18 in the series (Twelve Months), which I have yet to read as I am waiting for the paperback version.

Which might explain why I was initially a bit confused about certain elements in Harry's world (He has another apprentice now? And a castle?), which - I presume - happen in that entry.

Having said that, once I got past the initial confusion I found myself thoroughly enjoying my return to Harry's Chicago; thoroughly enjoying the more 'low stakes' (well, as low as it gets for Harry, maybe) of the story that I feel was lost in the last couple of full-length novels I read.

Sure, world-ending apocalypses have their place and all, but when they are stopped time and time again ...

This short story takes a leap back in time to when I'rone was but a boy and not yet married to either Betreec or Jasmine. It is a short story but still manages to provide an interesting addition to the series and tells you how Betreec and I'rone came to be (also Jasmine but that only becomes clearer later on). Something happens in this story that becomes a point of interest in the following books so it is definitely worth reading if you are going to read the series.

Short but packed full of relevant information. A definite bonus to read.

Compilation issue, collecting Marvel's 'main-line' Star wars graphic novels, issues 12-18, and set during the period between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (Han frozen in Carbonite, Luke has fought - and lost to - Vader, etc).

It also crosses-over with the 'War of the Bounty Hunters' collection of comics.

That much is obvious.

What was not so obvious, however - and I had no idea prior to reading this - is that it must cross over with some of the other Star Wars properties: I'm guessing Darth Vader for one. The reason I say that? I found it a bit jarring jumping from 'Vader's arrived!' in one issue to seeing rebels flee in the next, without any context of why or what had happened except for a few speech bubbles referencing events that I hadn't read!
