And why is deglobalization accompanied by fascism?
Was fascism a required force for deglobalization to happen?

I want to see Winnie the Pooh beat the shit out of Mickey Mouse.

Dogs of War (#1) also kind of takes you by the leash and walk you through a changing world a bit at a time.
Bear Head (#2) hits you in the face, head on, with a strange world with many open questions you have to wait to figure. I really like that order better.

To clarify: the main character of book 2 is already fully developed by end of book 1, and the few new factions are mostly just extensions of what's in book 1, too.
Starting with book 2, you start with nothing and get to know everyone little by little. Then book 1 fills their backstory.

Dragon only starts making sense near the end of the book, but the character is only mentioned a couple times before that so it's fine. Rex gets as much character development as the main characters, I think. Bees come out as a DisJerk, but it will be interesting to read where they come from next!

I picked the book without realizing it was a sequel. Now I'll have to go read the 1st book, I guess! Kudos for (re)introducing Rex, Dragon & Bees so nicely so that it can be read as a standalone!

I'm 75% into Bear Head right now. It's great!

Sometimes Honey kind of speaks like Jimmy. Is this on purpose? She was so ... aristocratic? at first
