Review: Decent read for 99 cents

I found Kidnapping Keela to be an OK read. There were some interesting characters and the plot moved along, but there wasn't a whole lot of depth. I expected a lot more emotion from the four women who were kidnapped. Even Solima, Marruk's daughter, didn't seem all the phased by being taken, except for after being sold. Lory was the most interesting of the women, and Kordan intrigues me, so their story is one I will read. But this one was just OK - many reactions and dialogue felt juvenile. For instance, the King never acted regally in my opinion. At one point, he rushes in all excited announcing, "The women have arrived!" Seems more a reaction from a child, not a ruler. And Keela is supposed to have survival training, yet she never put it to use and ran straight into a trap. She felt very juvenile and undeveloped. Marruk on the other hand was well-developed and had some background and real emotions. Again, an OK story but a good deal for 99 cents!
