Good story, hard to read when Chapter 1 is in the back of the book
Really good story. Good writing. My only complaint is that the book is backwards. Chapter 1 is in the back of the book. Not sure how this happened and it was listed in the details of the listing. Might make me change my mind about the other books in this series
Good plot development- Liked the characters- Dislike that it is not readily available in hardback or paperback form.
Limited ability to purchase widely would like to read more but cost for retiree is prohibitive
