Review: Just go buy the boxed set

I have this book and the 6-book set. I'd recommend just buying the 6-book set. There is nothing wrong with this prequel, but it's completely unnecessary, and when it ends, and the next book begins, you feel as if you were dropped off a cliff. I kept wondering if I had missed some pages or something. And the story told in the prequel is summed up very well in the "first" book, which makes the prequel superfluous.
