When you work in a bookstore and people ask you what you've been reading lately and you can't just say, oh you know just this million word epic about love and hope and Roman politics in an alternate, apocalyptic Kansas that necessitates you watching at least seven seasons of hit show supernatural, so you just say, oh nothing we have in stock unfortunately

This is the essence of Down to Agincourt: in between Cas internally comparing Dean wearing several layers of clothing to Salome scarf dancing for King Herod and him saying "I would bring all of Creation to its knees for your pleasure," Cas gets distracted by Dean's T-shirt covered shoulder. The impossible, infinite fallen angel is a Victorian woman with the vapors at the sight of a single layer of clothing (though later he has a moment about Dean's bare feet).

And this is still the first third of book three.

When reading Down to Agincourt, a good portion of your time will be spent cross-referencing chapter 11 of Map of the World with the other books. And those will be some of the best moments of your life.

This is the kind of thing that makes me absolutely rabid about Down to Agincourt. So much background in one line.
