Review: Great introduction but not necessary to the series

This is a pretty short novella but it served it's purpose.  It introduced me to the characters and got me excited for the first book.  It is well written.  I was disappointed when it was over at 68%.  It's not necessary to read this before reading the first book.  However, I don't regret reading it.
