Review: Cute story

This is a story set in the same world as the Deacon series, a number of generations into the future.  If possible, I'd recommend reading the trilogy first, otherwise this story won't make as much sense... and contains some spoilers for the series (who lives, who dies, that sort of thing).Overall it was a cute story, I definitely got very misty-eyed several times.  I think that's one of my favorite things about Mr. Lallo's books - they are very good at conveying emotion to the reader.I think my actual review score would be 4.5 stars, after reading all the other books, the story in this one seemed a bit simplistic.  And, unless there are going to be more follow-up books, there was a point left hanging that I wasn't a fan of.Truthfully though, I'd love another few books written in Deacon's world, there are so many more story possibilities left to tell!
