UPSIDE: Glamour is a quick read, intriguing, and unique. Great characters, lot of action, myriad of supernatural creatures (I loved the vampire - you have no idea if he's a good guy or bad guy, and you don't find out.)DOWNSIDE: Incomplete.The book left me feeling almost cheated.  As a standalone, it felt unfinished, but I'm sure if you download the rest in the series, the plot will thicken then leave you feeling satisfied when you read the last page of the last book. However, in my opinion, a book should FEEL complete in and of itself, not depend on subsequent material.There are other series stories that feel complete, that have a beginning, middle, and an end. You feel like there's closure to each one - the silo stories from Wool, or the Hunger Games, for instance. There's a larger story if you want to read them all, but they feel complete when you finish the last page of each book in the series.Glamour fails in that. It falls in with the kind of books I unknowingly stumble onto that run the same plot over a handful of books and doesn't feel complete until you get to the end of the series. I hate those. Vehemently.MORE UPSIDE: It's free.So go for it - download Glamour and see if it's something you like well enough to continue. Unfortunately, for me, it wasn't strong enough a story to send me racing to download the next book, although I will keep it in the back of my mind if I run out of things to read. After all, I really would like to know what happens with the vampire.
