This was a short story.  So it was more of an introduction.  I want to read the rest of the story.  Everything I've read by Nnedi Okorafor has been new, exciting, and vivid.

Was disappointed it was so short-  did not expect that when I purchased it.  Everything in this short story was repeated back more or less in the sequel necessary Lies

I suppose I should read product descriptions more carefully; somehow I didn't understand that this was a short story, not a complete novel -- I never read short stories, and this one left me feeling not much of anything.  Not my cup of java; it may be yours.

really really short story but it was free. If this was a book I probably would flip through it and never properly read it. Okay for waiting room lit.

I enjoyed this story but as at least one other reviewer here mentioned, I think it would have been better suited to being written as a short story. I just didn't think there was enough of a plot here for a full length novel.

I did finish it as I wanted to see how things would turn out.

Ok but not one of my fav picks for recent novels that I've read.  I would probably try another book by this author though.

This was my first book by this author.  I read it on Kindle Unlimited.

This was a quick short story.  I enjoyed reading it but I wanted it to a bit longer instead of having another story starting.  I did not read the following story.  This book has 2 stories in it.

Kinda bugged that this is described as a short story. No. This is a teaser that gets you hooked and then ends before wrapping anything up. Lame move.

This is a short story which the author is now calling a prequel. That's nice because I think an actual novel with some of these characters in it would do well. This tiny tale was just way too obvious for me, however. I did like the author's writing style and lack of countless errors, so I gave this one 3 1/2 stars.

I found this book to be very enjoyable, but I also thought there could have been a bit more to the story. This was little more than a novella. If you are a reader who likes very short stories without a lot of story, then this is the book for you.

So how disappointed was I when it was so short?  No warning it is not a book.  This would have been clear if it was a paper book.  I found the story abbreviated in many ways.

This was a really short book.  It felt more like a short story.  What was here was very good and erotic, but it seemed to be over before it started.  I think it should have continued on instead of leaving you hanging.

I'm not sure what this story was meant to relate.  It was so short, the characters were not clearly defined.  I thought the saving of Mischkalita  the mouse,
Represented the saving of the author and was life changing.

IT WAS A SATISFACTORY SHORT STORY, a bit too short in fact. i would recommend it for a quick read on a train or something

I read this "book" in about 40 minutes. Very quick short story. It was really good but I felt like it was more like an outline. I wanted more details and to go further into depth. This could have been an amazing story.

it was so short. I felt short-changed. Was ready for a longer story.

To short, but good little read and I mean short.  I read it in less then a hour.  More like 30 minutes. I like a little more meeting my story's.  But if quick little fluff story is what you want then this is it.

Not a short story. A "teaser". It took 15 minutes to read. Left me wanting the rest of the book.
