review 1: I got this from Amazon for free, and I think this is a fair price.After reading the other reviews, I had to go back and check whether Amazon has somehow failed to deliver the whole book - I got 13 chapters, and it is all prologue. No plot, no resolution, just introducing a bunch of characters and setting up some of the worldbuilding. The last couple chapters actually have some supernatural action, and the book was turning into a bit of a page turner. And then it ended, exactly where I would have ended the prologue and started the actual novel.I don't mean to complain: It was free, after all. But on principle I just can't give a passing grade to a prologue that is not properly marked as such. If it was called: "Haven: Prologue" I would have given it a 4. The first half stil... morel needs a visit by a wild-eyed editor with a meat cleaver, but all who have tried to write know how painful it can be to cut in our finely crafted prose just because it turned out to be unnecessary. Just look at this review how it goes on and on.
review 2: This book was very entertaining and I got into it but I don't like how it seems like it ends right in the middle of it. I realize there is a second book but I feel like the first book just wasn't enough. Maybe book one and book two should be combined or something. Like the way it ended should have been the end of a chapter not the end of the whole book. I will read book two but only to figure out what happened. less

Am intrigued but I hate books that leave you hanging... especially in the first book! Argh!

This isn't a book, it's a prequel. OK, but not very compelling. Not epic.

It was a good short read and caught my intention but ended too soon.
