I loved this book...right up until the end. It was an engaging story that I couldn't put down, and as the end of the book drew nearer, I began to worry about how it could possibly all wrap up with so few pages left. The answer? Not well. It seemed like the ending was rushed and everything was quickly wrapped up with a tidy little bow. There were characters I wanted to know more about and questions that were never answered. I had actually recommended The Puzzle King to people while I was reading it, and then had to go back and tell them not to bother. So disappointing, as I truly loved the author's writing style and cared about her characters!
