Review: A nice start but needs some polish

I was offered a copy of this book for free in return for writing a review of it. My thoughts on this short novel are not influenced by that.  Creedor is a very short, really too short, novel that is obviously the start of a series. Other reviewers have mentioned there are too many characters brought in for so short a novel and I agree. I also think this would have been better had it been published with more to it. At its current length, we get a somewhat rushed story of... Well, I'm not sure. Something big and bad is happening but why and what and how? We don't even really know all of the who at the end of this installment. Despite these things, and wishing this was about a hundred pages longer at least, it's not a bad book. Creedor feels somewhat sophomoric and while I didn't catch any spelling or glaring grammatical errors, I felt many parts should have been rewritten a few more times. I also noted that (and this is a very personal observation) that the book reminded me greatly of a good friend's voice and had the same touch of whimsy despite the dark themes. That probably brought some smiles that were completely wrong for what I reading.The real question here is would I continue this series and would I recommend this to a friend or fellow reader. The answer is maybe. I do wonder what will happen on Creedor and if the people will be saved, if safety and peace of mind will be restored, but I'm not sure that I want to continue reading such unpolished work. Perhaps the author's next installment will mature. In that case I would definitely read on.
