Oooo, I just found Tor's trove of short stories. I am in looooove. This is a light, bright story from an author I admire.

I really loved this one. I've been going through a bunch of these shorts in the Wild Card universe and I've enjoyed them all, but this one's about a teacher. That alone was enough to make me love it, but I found the characters fun and some of the new joker-aces were intriguing enough to really get my imagination going. Lots of good stuff here. Highly recommended.

Can we just accept that if even Max Gladstone can't make this mythos feel fresh and modern that its past saving and we should all move on as a people? :P

I knew nothing of the Wild Card universe before reading this story, and also I had never read a Max Gladstone book. I still enjoyed the story, even though I was terribly confused while reading it.

Now this is the kind of Wild Card story I enjoy. Nice take on world, nice way of inserting his little Gladstone wedge in there and expanding the definition, nice use of genius-conspiratorist trope. I do think the beginning was just a touch shaky, as I didn't realize the narrator was working in a Wild Card zone. I can take the superhero genre as long as it's done like this.
