Comments:

Well, this one is going to be brief, but I don't have much to say.  Simply...

This is the first book I've read by this author or from this mini-series, and I really enjoyed it.  I liked the characters, especially little Jacoby. Each time the story was shown from his view point was a highlight.

The story was interesting, and the hints to previous stories in the series intriguing. 

The only down point was the ending.  Unfortunately, it was a little rushed. Like the author had this fully developed story, then realized she was about to run out of room.

Despite that, I would certainly be interested in reading more.
