Review: Good, But So Short!

This is a VERY small little teaser for the YA novel Mila 2.0.  I would estimate it at about 16 pages tops. Now, I will say this; it was a very well written teaser, but I definitely was hoping for something a bit more substantial.  This was more like a prologue to Mila 2.0, not a novellette like I was hoping for.  I would have enjoyed having a bit more.However, like I said before; it's very well written.  I could picture the fire that Mila was in as I was reading.  This author, if Mila 2.0 is as well-written as Origins: The Fire, (and I am sure it will be) has the potential to be as good a storyteller as Suzanne Collins--I say potential because 15 pages doesn't quite seal the deal for me. Still, that is a very high compliment from a Hunger Games fan like me.Another thing I liked was that it included chapters from the main novel, which I am DYING to get my hands on; I entered a giveaway for an advanced reader's copy, and I lost. Go figure.  Anyway, from what I read, it looks super good.  And, this book is free, so I can't really complain too much about it being so short, when it didn't cost me anything. I got more than what I paid for, that's for sure.This little story succeeded in its purpose; it made me want to pick up Mila 2.0 and read it.  However, since it doesn't come out until March, I will be impatiently waiting for about a month.  I would recommend this to people thinking about reading Mila 2.0; it's a good teaser.  Even if you're not sure you want to read it, I still would try Origins: The Fire, because I have a hunch that this author is going to be pretty popular.
