Review: Well-written but too short to stand alone
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book was well-written.  Most of the action takes place in another world, where there are lots of different types of living beings.  These beings are well-described and easy to imagine.  The plot is interesting and keeps your attention as Jack and Elizabeth are trying to figure out their way in this new and different world.  Two things bothered me though. First, the only reason I'm given to like Elizabeth is that she's good-looking.  We're not told that much about her, and most of what comes out of her mouth isn't appealing, so I didn't feel any kind of interest in her as a character.  Second, this book is way too short.  The story just ends.  Even if it is a Book One, there should be more of a sense of completion.  This book does not stand alone by itself at all, and that's unfortunate given the great start it had.
