Straw Boss introduces a new kind of cult; and it is unlike any you’ve ever heard of. While reading; I thought it was a great combination of the movies Maze and Captain Fantastic with added science fiction.
This is to be a follow up to Ribbons, but it read more like an introduction to a new series. I appreciate Evan’s writing style, this his second book I’ve read. It is definitely a quick read; I finished in one sitting. I really enjoyed this book, but it left me wanting more. I hope there’s a follow up to this follow up.

Tasty novella from the author of Ribbons (which I still have to read). I admire the relative spareness of descriptions - the story's really carried by the characters, their psychologies, and the desperate terrible choices they make.

So to be fair, when I grabbed my copy of this book I had no idea it was a follow up to another book which would explain why I felt like I was missing something. That feeling kept me from getting into the story.

I love when that happens
I like quick reads, crazy twists, and stories about cults. Check. Check. Check. I started guessing where it was headed toward the end, but I was wrong. I love when that happens. (Also, by the time I got around to looking at this, I’d forgotten why I downloaded it. I opened it thinking I was about to read a crime novella. Surprise!)
