Part 2 of our initial conversations on the hot new thing, Castle of the Moon. As before, this episode will spoil the book in question, will potentially spoil Any Other Part of New Century because we get into a bunch of the implications for how this book reveals previously unknown context about previously released books. Part and parcel of being a prequel! On top of that, this will get into spoilers for the movie Memento. Yes, revealing that is a bit of a spoiler in and of itself, can't be helped. I still don't think it would prepare you for how it comes into play, and Memento is a 23 year old movie, but still! We cant talk about how mind blowing this book is without the proper context!
