I thought those two arcs were the weakest of the series, so it ought to get better from here.</p><p>(I actually hated the diner issue so much at the time that I dropped the book until "Dream of a Thousand Cats". Going back to read what I'd missed, I felt I hadn't missed much. Then Season of Mists blew me away, and I was hooked.)</p>
