Review: Interesting beginning

First of all, I would like to say that I thought this was a smart move, releasing a shorter prequel type story before the rest of the series. It offered the reader a chance to sample the story and catch a quick glimpse of what they might look forward to in the rest of the series.While there was nothing that I outright did not like about this story, I did think that for such a short story, there might have been room for a bit more action up front to pull the reader in and make them excited about the rest of the series.I thought the characters were interesting and the premise was as well, but I would have liked to know a bit more about the main character. Still, this had the intended effect. I would like to read the rest of the series now and see how it plays out.The author definitely knows fantasy and has the ability to weave a tale worth reading.This review is based on a digital Arc from Netgalley.
