A well written disappointment.
The opening premise was of magic and mystery, the middle of the story however had very little to do with either finally picking back up around the 80% mark and ending with no resolution. It was well written and I enjoyed the prose and pacing. I imagine a good bit of my disappointment is in knowing that the series is unlikely to be finished any time soon if at all, leaving this singular entry feeling ultimately like the underwhelming prologue of an untold story.
