After reading "Angela of Troy" by this author, I downloaded the other free titles he had available.  Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in this one.The actual content didn't bother me at all; it just felt like more could have been done with the idea and the story.  It felt like a shallow exploration, and I was disappointed when it ended.This book also didn't seem as polished in terms of both the writing and the technical aspects.  The inner workings of the department are explained by one character to another as a means of getting the information to us, which can be a workable solution but also can be somewhat clunky.  I noticed it because it seemed inconsistent with the characters involved - a bureaucrat explaining how things work to an angel?RME is referred to as MRE later in the book, and the plant is "lilted" rather than "wilted."The font size changed periodically and I noted some awkward phrasing such as "bet he's welcome for the chance to gather his thoughts."  Capitalization, commas and other punctuation are perhaps a result of the author's Australian English; I found it somewhat distracting but manageable.I have others downloaded by this author to read and I'm sure I will get to them, but this one wasn't my favorite.
