Yay! I'm sure the author would also appreciate if you leave a review (even if you end up hating it) - when reading it on Kindle, I left hundreds of comments with my impressions and a few jokes in there :)
Actually pretty excited for part 2 (this should be a trilogy), I started reading thinking "eh, he's a friend - might as well" but got dragged into it a lot more than I expected!
