Title: Not all the answers? Life is like that.
Review: I actually wrote to the author after finishing this book and asked "hey, how come you didn't tie up all the loose ends...and tell us what happened to of the charactors?". The reply I got back was facinating (and to me, satisfying). He basically said that the story arch was more important than the fate of the individual charactors and that in a story spread out over the Five Galaxies one might not expect to find out the fates of all charactors.This reminded me a bit of the Babylon-5 episode where the Vorlons bring back Jack The Ripper to test Delen...'would you save the world even if the world never knew that you had saved it'? or words to that effect.There is something heroic in our main charactors being lost...even as the story concludes.
Is the review positive or negative?
