Fun book, not as  deep as the other book but I enjoyed the adventure. Last 150 pages were a bit of a drag though.

A great prequel to HDM. The characters mostly are new to us as readers so at first, it’s hard to know how the stories connect. It feels a bit different from the original series but is still a great adventure that ties right in and brings you back to the universe.
