What an odd little book. I loved it. While it had a satisfying ending, it also left me wanting more in the best way, and in a way that I think if I had been <i>given</i> more, I wouldn't have actually enjoyed it as much. I'm discovering I love novellas for the world it builds in my head and everything that is left up to my imagination. It's a tricky balance because you can't give the reader too little, and I think this novella did it really well.
