No, I'm looking at those books with the perspective of time passed. I wrote Doppelganger literally YEARS (and six other novels) ago. And while W&W is more recent, I was still having to work within the conceptual constraints I set up in the first book. I don't think they're bad, but I also know I can do -- and have done -- better.

This is a good thing. If I weren't improving, I'd have a problem.
