I enjoyed it as well, but, it felt like an extended introduction. The story in the novel is complete, but it seemed to be as much about setting everything up for the later novels as telling one story.

That said, I wasn't necessarily interested in getting the next in the series. It's fairly light reading and a good way to pass the time. There are a lot of authors offering first books free and moving to a 4.99 or even 5.99 price for subsequent books. I didn't think for this type of book it was particularly short. Cozy books (whether cozy steampunk, cozy mystery or cozy fantasy) are typically on the shorter side when compared to sci fi/fantasy or steampunk that is not cozy!
I used a code at Kobo to get the first four books in a collection for less than $3. I'm not sure if I would have continued if they were full price.
