This fantasy novella is well written, professionally produced (editing, proofreading, formatting, and cover), and the characters are interesting if sometimes a touch flat, especially the villain. But while there's an ending, there's no real resolution of the problem, and the actual ending wasn't entirely satisfying. I might be old-fashioned here, but even in the set-up for a series, I want a satisfying resolution, especially as the first chapter of the next book (included at the end) didn't even mention the main character of this book, and she's the one I'm interested in and rooting for. Let's call it 3.5 stars.
