    The main review for this episode is "Outsider: An Old Man, a Mountain and the Search for a Hidden Past" by Brett Popplewell. I read 8 other books between the last episode (Unreconciled) and this one. They are:

    • The Devil in the White City (Erik Larson) - 3/5
    • The Cartographers (Peng Shepherd) - 2/5
    • Skin and Other Stories (Roald Dahl) - 3/5
    • Moon of the Crusted Snow (Waubgeshig Rice) - 4/5
    • Spider-Man: Life Story (Chip Zdarsky, Mark Bagley) - 4/5
    • Han Solo and the Lost Legacy (Brian Daley) - 1/5
    • Mighty Marvel Masterworks: The Silver Surfer (Roy Thomas, Stan Lee) - 1/5
    • Star Wars: Darth Vader - Black, White & Red (Various) - 3/5

    You can read my thoughts about all of these books on my Storygraph page.
