 @66e742bb I've seen a lot of this. Some authors are so paranoid about calling it a prologue that they call it Chapter One, 60 Years Before. Whatever works. If it gives me a glimpse of needed insight I'm onboard. 😃

 @7b682b86 Yeah, poor prologues. I've certainly read prologues that were just there to act as fillers or dull exposition, but I've read a lot of excellent prologues as well. As with everything else, it depends on the author.
