Review: Fun enough...

It's the classic problem: discover a fun, fast-reading series by a relatively new author and, I'm no time flat, find yourself having read though his entire corpus. This leaves you reduced to waiting for him to actually write a book he had barely even started writing while you were reading his last book...That's a long time to wait.In truth, I'm not a big fan of short stories (it's more than a stretch to call this novella), but this was fun enough, I guess. Kindle makes it easy to target-read (and I suppose the reverse is true as well: I.e. to flash-publish and target-market) these little fixes (or teasers, more accurately).  Not entirely sure how I feel about the practice (In general, I'm not a big fan of tales that don't move THE story along), but, all in all, it seems pretty harmless...and it was a fun enough read...One, unmitigated negative: it's too expensive. Compared with e price of an actual novel, this is just too expensive. To repeat it is not anything more than a relatively short short story. A novella is a short novel. This isn't even a long short story. Word-for-word: much too expensive.
