Well, more of 3 1/2 stars for me.
I read this not knowing that there might have been a sequel, but I have to say I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.. some small parts felt a bit.. meh. And considering how short the story is, I felt it affected the book.. so, let's try this again...
Liked it a lot, but could have been better... it's an enjoyable read :) and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
