 You know, I wasn't sure about this book until that ending. The world was fun, the magic was incentive, and I liked the characters, it just felt like it was kind of spinning it's wheels for a lot of the story. But boy did that ending make me want to see where the story goes. The only problem now is my frustration that fantasy authors just don't seem to know how to write a complete novel anymore. It's all just prelude to an ongoing tale, instead of a satisfying story that could lead to more. I liked it, I just wish it had a conclusion, instead of being part of a saga.
