The Paris Orphans

Average rating5
Short Story Effectively Sets Up Larger Series. This is one of those series introduction novella/ short story kind of tales where there is a touch of a semblance of a plot, but the larger target is introducing the world and the major players of the overall series. The ending is a bit abrupt and clearly designed to be picked back up at some later point in the series, but the larger emphasis is truly on establishing that there are several different sisters each with distinct interests and each hoping to be able to use those interests in particular ways in this particular setting.
Having now also read Book 1, The Last Day In Paris, it becomes clear that this particular tale isn't *as* critical, yet that one *does* have aspects that are revealed in this tale that would be missed if this tale is missed.
Overall a quick introduction to an intriguing series, and a fairly quick read to boot. Very much recommended.
