Title: Cliffhanger ending
Review: For the most part I enjoyed the book. I tend to like action, so I found the long descriptive passages somewhat tedious, but the overall story was good enough to more than offset that, and there was plenty of action. What really annoyed me was the cliffhanger ending. I generally like series. (I am really looking forward to the ninth book in C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner series, due out in February.) But each book in a series should be self contained. I think it is unconscionable for the authors to write an 800 page book (far too long anyway) with essentially no ending. The book actually ends with the statement "Watch for Hell Hath No Fury" (the next book in the series). I think it is fine for the authors to want to sell the next book in the series, but that does not remove their obligation to their readers to produce a finished product.
Is the review positive or negative?
