There are a lot of negative reviews for this short story and I really don't know why. Yes, the novella (used very loosely) is a little less than 31 pages, but that is no reason to trash the story. Simone's writing is very pornographic - I'm not certain I could take more than 31 pages. This is my first (used loosely) erotic novel and I enjoyed Simone's writing enough that I'm willing to pick up another one of her full-length novels in the future. I liked the characters and I felt like I learned quite a bit about them even though Simone's story starts in the middle of a whole world I know nothing about. The writer wrote a nice short story, the plot was intriguing (it could easily become an full novel), the characters were fascinating, and Simone wrote well. I don't see the problem.
