Why this must be read: An interesting glimpse of one of the drawbacks of being a sentinel.

We learn early on in the show that being a sentinel is more than enhanced senses; the price tag for the miraculous things Jim can do is that he has to live up to an extraordinary level of responsibility. No wonder he often gets tired of it all and wants to lay down the mantle. In “Ugly Things”, Sally shows us why Jim, despite it all, will stay the course.

She’s written more recent works, specifically “Voice” and “Water’s Nice…”, which are not sequels but explore a similar theme: what the senses buy Jim and what they cost him. Enjoy.
