So I've basically arranged my reading (and sleeping) schedule around the fact that UnWholly comes out on Tuesday, and I've been saving this novella for today. And.... meh. I don't know if I was influenced by the fact that I know it wasn't Neal Shusterman who wrote this, or if the story just isn't up to Unwind standards, but I was neither over or underwhelmed. Did Frankie Landau-Banks say I could be whelmed? Then I am whelmed. I don't think it's a MUST READ for Unwind fans the way Ferragost is a MUST READ for Lumatere fans. Lev was one of the most fascinating characters in Unwind, so I was hoping UnStrung would add yet another layer. Again... meh. On the plus side, there's an excerpt of UnWholly included with this novella.
