Title: A major letdown.
Product review: I've now read 3 books by Caitlin. The first, Silk, was a blurry, scattered mess. It was also her first book, and read like it. The one I had recommended to me was Daughter of the Hounds. I read that, and it was so good, I even thought about giving Silk a little more leeway. Then I read Threshold.It starts out favorably enough. It keeps on going steadily, sometimes more interesting, sometimes less, but mostly building up tension towards what seems more and more like a good payoff.Then, in either a lack of ideas on how to end the story, or in a desire to be really ambiguous (I would vote the first one), it descends into surrealist nonsense. Some of the earlier story makes little sense, and some of it is actually cringe inducing. Then, it ends. Just like that. No explanations. No resolution. Just a vague attempt at implying that something important happened. I felt cheated. I spent my time, and invested my interest, in a book that ended up going nowhere and wasting my time
