I came across this by way of meeting the author (in a virtual online exchange of emails way). It seemed like a good entry point for the Peltedverse, which is HUGE and daunting. And it is a good entry point, more or less. I really liked all the stories and loved one or two--"Dark Lighthouse" is a heartbreaking romance that left me wanting to shake the main character (view spoiler)[I am not nearly so certain as Taylitha is that she will ever get another chance with Avram Hancock, and who gives up on a relationship with someone who is very likely perfect for her just because he's the wrong race? And yet her reaction, while frustrating, was so in character I was only heartbroken and not mad. (hide spoiler)]--and the art is a charming addition.

I'm going to give this five stars for my own reaction, but call it four stars as far as recommending it as a starting point for the series goes. I personally enjoy putting events and concepts together from hints and clues, and this requires a bit of being willing to be immersed in an unfamiliar world--not something everyone likes. For me, this was a very comfortable read, and I'll have to find another way into the series and see if I like the rest of it as well.
