I felt the book was a little slow getting started, and I had just started to get into the story when it was over.  It didn't have a strong hero that I could get behind and root for, and this made it difficult to lose myself in the story, since I didn't really care what happened to them.  It was also very short and had no resolution.  Presumably this will be resolved later, as there are at least 5 parts to this story.  Since I already 'bought' the next installments, I'll keep going, and I hope it will resolve.
