This was fun and fine, but I think is the weakest of all the novellas I've read so far. I can see how the revelations made might make sense in the larger part of the ongoing story, but it didn't come across as particularly smooth or well-integrated to the larger narrative. Some of it was maybe the problem of novella, but Wells normally is so good at digging in so deeply to character relationships in the space of a novella that it was a little disappointing to have this feel so flat. I am definitely looking forward to getting my hands on the next book though!
