Status Updates From When the Villain Comes Home

it's time. I'm rereading a few stories and it's time to finally finish this awesome anthology. Thumbs up to The Presuil's Call

The first four stories have been excellent

oh snap as i typed that last post out and hit send. i just understood it. The villain is the dude and he came home... in a body bag.

definitely some rereading going on. Not sure who the villian is in StarKeep

Ok so great stuff going on lately. I think Birthright should have been the first story of the book. and Frey's Villain story Maddening Science is imo much much better than is "Once and Now-ish King" Hero story. and this i say as someone who didn't hate OANK. I can't wait to reread this collection.

space aliens still not sure what they look like. I was waffling between spiders, and elephant like creatures to primates with tales. I ALMOST saw the reveal coming.

for obvious reasons this may end up being my favorite story in the book but honestly while a slow burn they've been living up to my expectations. This stories will require rereading before I can properly assess though.

a brilliant take on the first of the fallen angels.

just finished the frankenstein story. I like it. It will reread well.

I feel like I've read this story before. I'm not sure I understand what's going on. But the same thing happened in the last book. Rereading made things a lot clearer. Can't wait to do that for this book.
