Review: Should be a novel, not a novella!

Beautifully written novella about forbidden love.Two societies live in vaults and are warned of the other. One colony only comes out at night, dubbed moonwalkers, and the other society only comes out during the day, called sun-walkers. Otherwise, each society spends their time inside a protective vault where they live in fear throughout either the day or night. Once Lyra, a moonwalker, misses the locking of her colony's vault, she is found by sun-walkers, and that's when the story takes a turn.My biggest problem with this story? It's too short. I wanted it to be a prequel to a novel, and then (if the author could swing it) it could have been a series.The love happened way too fast, way too easily, though I wasn't really disappointed. It made sense, just in more of a long-term way. I understand the characters' draw to one another, just not their pace.
