Review: good intro but not a stand-alone book
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 3, 2011
As other reviewers have stated, this is not a full-length book, but a relatively short introduction to the ensuing trilogy.  The description calls it a prequel, but in my experience a prequel is generally at least a stand-alone story, even if short.  This prequel merely sets the stage for the books to follow and doesn't come to any real conclusion.  That said, it is still an enjoyable read and an intriguing premise.
