This book began with so much promise: good characters, plot twists, conflict. As things started getting good, I realised there were less than 100 pages left. "They can't satisfactorily resolve everything in time, " I thought.
And I was correct. Rather than resolution, you're left with one chapter saying, "here's what I imagine happened, but that was many years ago. I'm no longer a protagonist, I'm now merely a narrator. Ta-da! The end."
It was a VERY poorly written conclusion.
