Review: Unfortunately Forgetable and Overpriced

It has only been a week since I read the story, but I had to look up the main characters name for this review.  The main story revolves around Major Bhaajan's search for a missing Mahja prince.  As a detective story it is too brief to be interesting.  The romance also seams to happen at a fast pace  with a bare minimum of buildup.  The science fiction aspects would probably be more interesting to readers new to the series, but to those familiar with the Skolian Universe it is just old hat.  There are no appearances by any of the Ruby dynasty, they are just background politics in this book.Speaking as someone who has read the entire series, I was disappointed,  I don't know what makes some characters stand out and others fade back but this story just fell flat for me.A novella this short should probably be priced cheaper than $3.99
