Why this must be read: This story works very well for me as an extended exploration of Mal's character. I really like how this story examines the changes Mal goes through between the end of the series and the beginning of the Big Damn Movie, because those are some powerful and intense watershed times for him. Layton Colt does an especially smashing job of insightfully working through Mal's tendency to sabotage important relationships in his life, and the way he seems to gravitate toward the people who bewilder and vex him the most. The voices are simply excellent, the character motivations are believable and effective, and there are some lovely grace notes in the striking use of imagery and language.
