Disclaimer: Shortened the name to avoid trouble for anybody behind profanity filters. Review: Well, that went fast. It's a short read. But I enjoyed it. Voice seemed more like the old Croaker voice from the original trilogy. Though Cook's prose is more polished, it doesn't change that old voice. I missed young, optimistic Croaker. It's self-contained enough to enjoy on its own, but has enough callbacks to engage us long-time fans. Spoilers: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm pretty sure I agree with the theory that the twins here are the twins from Port of Shadows and that the mysterious one-armed Taken is Twice Dead. Too bad the Lady gobbled him up; he had potential.
