Hmm, the final third was a bit disappointing. I understand this is the first book in a series, but there just seemed to be too many things left hanging, so much that the ending was unsatisfying. There were a few times were I was taken out of the story by either modern vernacular that didn't seem to fit the setting, or decisions that didn't fit well with the characters. Other than that, the book was decent.

The middle third of this book has definitely changed in tone from the beginning. A few things have thrown me out of the story a bit. I am hopeful the final third brings things back together and delivers a solid resolution.
