The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett

Grrrr.... cliffhanger....
If there's one thing I could think of that I hate most in a book it's a cliffhanger. And this one sure ends in one. Literally (you'll probably laugh about that later if you don't throw your preferred reading device down in anger first).
I originally debated about giving this book between 3 and 4 stars, and right after I finished the book, I decided on 3 because of the horrible ending. I have now downgrading that rating to a 2 because upon retrospect, I couldn't care less about most of the characters in the book that were focused on. And the characters I found myself liking were waaaaaay in the background with very little or minimal personal development.
I'm just disappointed in this book. It kept my interest, so it gets 2 stars for that. But the overall story and character development were despicable. I kept reading because I was waiting for some big thing to happen or for every stupid decision the characters had made up to that point to make sense, but neither moment ever came. I just don't know if I can find it in myself to care to read the next book.
