Title: An Original Idea....but
Review: I have been an avid reader of sci-fi and fantasy for nearly 50 years---I consider myself something of an expert. It was with great delight that I started this first book of the trilogy. There were some great new, inventive ideas...where would they lead? The author laid out some of these ideas and many, many mysteries which we knew were about to unfold. But who could hang on that long? I have finished all three books of the trilogy and in truth there is a good story here. You will find it in the first half of volume one and the last half of volume three. The rest is filler---it took me two years to trudge through it because I really didn't want to give up---but how many others would push through that. And then some of the mysteries---especially the who and what Amber is -- is a two sentence delivery as her whole purpose for being at the end. I can only imagine with the loose ends such as this left that it is set up for a trilogy sequel ... ouch.
