I was really excited about this novella because I really enjoyed What Moves The Dead, but I found this story just didn't live up to the hype. The story had such promise, but too much time was spent in the beginning chapters on useless back story that you were halfway through the novel before the groundwork was being laid for the actual story. The story was wrapped up in one short chapter, and the main storyline only took up about 5 of the 14 total chapters. The narrator was fun and I enjoyed the humor interjected throughout the story for sure though. The novella did set up a potentially interesting future novella/novel that could explore Easton's military history too.

Overall, the story was promising, but the execution just fell flat for me.
