I can honestly say that I’ve never read a novella this intense before. Thoma managed to tell a very unique, very complete story without anything feeling rushed or left out. Her descriptions were phenomenal. They created a very clear picture of the world in which these characters found themselves. She also avoided any superficiality, which tends to be the norm in novellas.I am amazed at how well developed the main character in this novella is. Thoma worked a great deal of detail into this character, while avoiding all unnecessary development. This lent itself to a very well developed heroine who can stand on her own without bogging down the storyline with irrelevant details. The supporting cast is also more developed than I would have expected. They each have been developed enough that the reader can identify with them and feel for them as people. I also love the mystery surrounding one of the characters. It’s not lack of character development that leaves you in the dark as to who and what he really is, but rather the character is very well developed as a secretive person. So mysterious. Love it!Final comments? I NEED THE SEQUEL NOW!! Actually, yesterday would be even better.Please note that I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
