It’s been 297 days since David died–and came back.
He may have survived the avalanche, but the aftermath has been far worse. His wife moved out, taking his son with her, and a devastated David hasn’t left his house since, terrified of the mysterious new power that followed him home from the ill-fated expedition.
After months in seclusion, David’s ready for a fresh start, and ventures out, determined to keep his power in check. But David’s power isn’t the one he needs to worry about.

This short story set in the same world as Villains was surprisingly good for such a brief read. While I enjoyed the long-form dive more, it helps empathize more with some of the struggles facing other characters in the world.

Warm Up acts as a prequel novelette to the Vengeful series, and it has me very intrigued to carry on to that series. I've definitely seen better prologues written, but this one definitely paints an intriguing enough picture that I'm going to continue into the main series.
The MC, David is pretty decent, having a unique ability and backstory that sets the stakes for the kind of power that people can possess within the universe, so I'm excited to see the heights to which that's taken in the mainline books.
3/5 stars, it's solid, but I've seen better introductions.
