Suffers from prequelism

The story here is simple, the characters barely rounded off let alone fleshed out. As a bit cut from a longer tale I can both understand why the author would want this told and the editor could safely cut it out. It doesn’t stand alone nor is it so bad to be worth dismissing.

Not quite sure how to feel in the end. I don’t think I will ever listen again but if my dance card for books wasn’t so full I would be likely to seek out more in the series.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
