Is it interesting to see all the "source material" for the background history in The Other? How do you feel the experience was reading them in that order?
As I concluded Alterra, I thought to myself, "Wow, this feels familiar." So I opened up The Other and saw the map of Asura and realized how it all linked together. I had read The Other months before so I wasn't able to make the link as quickly as if I had read them closer together in time.I thought it was cool to get a glimpse of the history of Asura. I think I like the order I read it more than if I had read it the other way around. It allowed me to appreciate the events in Alterra better.
I wish I had realized the link earlier. I may have to re-read The Other now.
