Review: This is all kinds of "meh"

I think, when you do a prequel like this, you should have something important to tell and a way to draw in readers for the longer series. This just didn't do it for me. I was leery when I saw the cover and I was doubtful when I saw all the unverified reviews -- and yet I still gave it a shot. I'm not saying the series won't be good, because there is a genuinely interesting story buried in here. The problem is, it's buried really deep and I think most readers will be tempted to give up before they get to the interesting part. I can't decide if I'll check out the rest of the series -- but I'm leaning towards no.
