Is it really accurate to call Ragamuffin a "stand-alone" novel. The latter part of the book is a direct sequel, on the same world, with all the same main characters (save one) involving a continuation of the events in the first book. If the sentence means that the publisher's claim it is a stand-alone novel maybe the text should be changed to reflect that. 76.66.17.37 (talk) 20:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
