I love how Walker writes this novella.  Her voice is so active and inviting.  Flipping between David and Angel’s perspectives allows the reader full access to all aspects of the scenario.  I really appreciate how Walker took the time to step back a bit and tell the events at hand from David’s perspective.  Not only does it set the scene for this novella perfectly but it lets you get to know David much better.  Walker simultaneously allows you to feel sorry for David, while being unable to stop laughing over his predicament.  And the Einstein & Star Wars references?  Priceless!!!  My biggest issue with this novella (and really the series as a whole) is the cover.  I find it to be rather younger reader oriented when compared to the subject matter in the story.  Being someone who admittedly shops based on the cover, the cartooney cover would make this something I’d tend to pass by on the shelves.  That said, the story was definitely well worth the read and I’m grateful that I did.Overall, this was a phenomenal novella.  Although not strictly necessary to the series is a whole it does fill in a few blanks left at the end of the 1st story.  And it brought tears to my eyes as well.  Can’t go wrong with that.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
