3.0

The start was excellent but as the conclusion is nearing, the ending just fell short and rushed. Dissatisfied with how some of the characters and the chapters are written as well because sometimes it felt unnecessary or the author forgot to develop that point in the story (example below, spoiler tagged). The octopus was a star at first but somewhere in the middle the author just slips him in whenever and wherever the author thinks fit.

Example: Ethan finding the old cheque by Daphne Cassmore and all of the rushing that evening to do what exactly?
