This was mildly fun, a little bit of an adventure with beloved characters when they’re young. Appropriately, it felt like one of the smaller plot points from one of main books, the ones where you’re entertained but wondering how on earth it will link up to the main story and wishing that Diana could just tighten things up a bit and get on with it. But here it’s nice short novella. I was more curious and expected not to care too much about it, but I did like it. Especially at the end, (no spoilers) you're left with a sense of all that Jamie is grieving about home and family. It’s quite nice to have that insight into him a little younger when he’s just maturing.
I listened to the audiobook and one unfortunate thing was that the narrator’s voice for Jamie made him sound a little like Ringo. Ah well.
