Beginning to end, this book was a delight!

I was laughing throughout, but the story dealt with complex themes as well. I hadn't expected to contemplate benevolent enslavement, or the meaning of happiness, yet here we are. It is a testament to Wells's skill that such heavy topics could could be woven into such a short story without disrupting the fun.

Lovely, I will be continuing the series!
