It's a short read that introduces you to the characters and sets up the conflict for future episodes. It's a short read and there were quite a few characters to sort out, but I knew that was to set everything up. Given the new chapters come out weekly, I don't see it being a problem for readers to remember.I know people might be discouraged by it being a series, but if readers think of it as the reading version of NetFlix or Hulu, it makes sense, and the quality is there. This is a place filled with people I'd like to get to know better.Ordinary Secrets is free as of this writing, so I encourage you to give the people of Hidden Falls a chance.I downloaded a copy from Amazon per an invitation from Handlebar.
