Exactly. It took me a while to get my bearings at the start of the book. Thank you.

Definitely. She could have explored a lot more in this book but she didn't. I believe this is a prequel, so maybe she didn't feel the need to expand on the storylines in this book.

If you do read it, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

I understand what you mean. Certain scenes did have a movie-like feel to them, which didn't work as well in print. Thanks!

Thank you. I usually focus more on reviewing the content rather than techniques but in this case, they took away from the plot of the book.

Yes, I was very curious too. I'd say go for it as it's a quick read. Thank you.

Yes, sometimes it's nice to get to the end of a book quickly. Thank you!
