There is so much packed into this little novella. I'm so glad this author decided to write this off hand story from the main series. The themes the author plays with in this book are fascinating yet terrifying to ponder. The characters have many sides to them, and the twists are well laid out. I rode this emotional roller coaster with Jan all the way to the end. Tearing up at some spots. Going to have to check out the main series. ( )
