Thanks for this awesome article! I just recently read James as part of a house book club I do with my fiancé and our roommate. I’ve never read Huck Finn but you’ve certainly convinced me. I shared a lot of the same qualms with James you did but also found myself really enthralled by Everett’s writing as this was my first exposure to him. I’m a long time fan of The Comics Collective so your Saga tangent made me tear up even though I’d heard you tell it before. ❤️
If you haven’t read Big Jim and the White Boy (which I’m sure you have) I highly recommend that one. Another interesting retelling!

Thank you so much! It means so much to hear that my writing touched you! Thanks for years of support on the podcast as well!
HELL YEAH!! You should reference Saga in every article! I just have 2 questions though,
1. Do I need to read Tom Sawyer before Huckleberry Finn?
2. Do I need to read Mistborn before the Stormlight Archive?
You can read huckleberry Finn on its own, but I am happy to have read Tom Sawyer first.
You can def just start with Stormlight.
