Review: Pleasant but more tame than expected

This was a short and sweet little story set in the world of The Book of Deacon trilogy. I'm torn about how to review it because there was nothing wrong with it, but it did feel like it was missing something. I think after reading Lallo's other work I was expecting this book to have more action. In terms of the structure of the plot I was expecting the plot to have a rising action, a climax, and a falling action, but those things didn't really happen.In my head I'm comparing this book to chocolate pudding. It's pleasant, smooth and easy to take in, and it doesn't take long to finish. Sometimes it's exactly what you want, but if you were looking for something with depth and dimension it's probably not exactly going to hit the spot.*Review re-posted from goodreads.com
