Review: Not bad if you know the series
Rating: 4 out of 5

Fans of the "with" series should recognise the overall wold in this short story.  While this could be read as an unofficial prequel to the series, as these characters are mentioned briefly (though not by name) in Without Reservations, if you are unfamiliar with these novels I would read it after the first full novel.  I enjoyed this one and didn't find Laine irritating like some others did; not everyone can be perfect and it was a nice change from some other shorts I've read.  If you enjoy the series you'll probably like this addition to it as well, I did.
