Jake’s return and his meeting with Oy extend the group traveling with Roland, Eddie and Susannah. Oy is a named billy-bumbler with a continuing relationship to Jake, so he belongs in the atlas as a character. Blaine the Mono supplies another continuing identity: the sentient train and its riddle challenge carry directly into Wizard and Glass.

The New York bookshop introduces Calvin Tower and Aaron Deepneau. Later Tower books return to the same book collector, his friend and the bookshop history. Deepneau’s riddle is remembered in Wizard and Glass, while Wolves of the Calla revisits the bookshop, showing how a conversation or remembered detail can connect volumes as well as a physical return.
