An interesting story that unfolds naturally.  Its use of parallel storytelling is excellent.  As others have said it is exactly as long as it needs to be.For most readers I think this will fall at the current average of four stars.  For me the overall style and some ambiguous details bump it up.  There are pieces of the story I thought could be interpreted different ways, leading me uncertain as to how I feel about the events in the story.  I may be reading too much into things, but everything still fit the tale so instead of being a negative it made the story more intriguing.Whether carefully planned, a happy accident or just a sign of good writing it added considerable depth for me and I've already reread this a few times.Highly recommended.
