This book ended very abruptly, almost as if the author were tired of writing and decided to sum it all up in condensed form. It ended on a very depressing note and left behind an aftertaste of hopelessness. The most endearing characters did not have a large part in the story, but the unlikable ones persisted on. The visualization was excellent and I could clearly imagine the scenes the author described. It is worth reading once, but I doubt I will ever read it again.
