I really enjoyed Two Masters, and this follow-up is really good too. It makes sense that Illya would need a bit of time off to think after that heart-rending experience. I love that Napoleon helped him out with that. And I love that Mr. Waverly is determined to figure out how to solve the problem once and for all. You write for Mr. Waverly so well, showing his compassionate side as well as his logical, stern leader side.
