Two stars for "It was okay," not bad. I just don't care as much about the other characters as I do about Sensa. I've actually never ventured into the world of supplemental novellas before, but it seemed so much like important things were happening backstage that I thought these might actually be important to the central plot by the time the next proper novel comes out. Maybe true, maybe not. I heavily skimmed all the battle scenes, because I just don't care. Learning how the slugs work WAS interesting, just not sure it was worth the time invested since I bet there'll be a recap whenever it becomes relevant to the main novels.

Will I read any of the other two (three?) novellas? Mmmmeh....
