This book sucks you right into the world. I love reading novellas because the author only has so much room to work with so everything needs to be purposeful. The setting, atmosphere and dialogue were the most successful parts of this book. Really wonderful example of how to do a short story right. Action packed, addictive characters and clever plotting. Definitely makes me want to read more from this author if this is what they can accomplish in under 200 pages.
