I often read a prequel short story or novella, or the first in a series book.  Personally, I like a story that can stand on its own but entices me to read the rest of the series.While a bit awkward from time to time, the story was interesting and the characters became richer as time went along.  The problem was the end.**  It just stopped.  Kind of like this review would if I had published it at the **.  It was a very unsatisfactory experience.Since there is a teaser for the first book of the series, I read that hoping to find a bit more about the story's end.  No such luck.  The book starts a new story that is only loosely linked to the short story.  That is a common enough technique.  Unfortunately, the book wasn't very interesting.
