Ratings and reviews

The Novella is cute, but that doesn't change the fact that almost half the advertised page count is previews for other full length books. They are charging you for advertisements.

I would like for it to have been a novella, not a short story. As a short story, there wasn't room to explore some of the interesting bits that were brought up.

Great story. Ends in a bit of a cliff hanger but I have to assume that it will tie into the series once the nextbook of the series is released.
