Precedent was one that I had set off for so long and I regret that. This story follows a "present day" (non-Phase 2) timeframe with a story told about The Night of Sorrows. It's absolutely masterful how Older portrays the story. Without spoiling it, it was a gut puncher and a great wrap up to Phase 2's events. This story also ties in to the Adventures comics, which I appreciated as a comic and book enjoyer. Overall, this was just an amazing little story that really added something to the timeline, as well as offered amazing illustrations for some of the things that we see/experience in the books.
