The Falcon Throne by Karen Miller
3.0
It is so hard to rate a book so big in scope, character, and tree pulp. I found myself looking forward to returning to the book, thinking about the places, people, and conflicts when away from it, and I really enjoyed pondering the way things could turn out. So an easy four stars, yeah?
Unfortunately, I have to retract at least half a star, which I can't really do on Goodreads. I imagine there is at least one more book to come to finish off the story. Because if not, a lot of readers will be disappointed. Too much is left unfinished at the end. And to be honest, that is probably why I won't pick up the next book. My favorite characters were slighted, promises were left unkept, and to imagine involving myself (and my bookish heart) in another go-round, well, I shudder. Perhaps if my "to-read" shelf were not so overburdened . . . then again, if [a:Patrick Rothfuss|108424|Patrick Rothfuss|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1351307341p2/108424.jpg] hasn't published anything by the time Ms. Miller gets out her next, well, I have made no pledges.
