though there's something about Finspan that feels like a refining of that overall mechanic. It's worth the time, especially if you found the others in the series enjoyable.

I honestly didn't 'catch' that until later. 😁 There's a thought I've been wrestling with, and that's this: if Finspan had come first, it would have made Wingspan feel sloppy (and maybe by extension, Wyrmspan, too). I don't know if I completely agree with it,
