I agree. I actually thought it started slow and almost put it down, then it started to roll and I couldn't stop... and then... I dunno. It kind of fell apart. It was like it needed to be 2 volumes longer and they tried to cram it into just a few chapters or with a few 'oh, I forgot to explain this' scenes thrown in too late for good measure. Even the epilogue chap didn't clear things up much. Got more from the character's ending summaries than from the actual end of the story and epiloge. Yes, great potential, but didn't pan out in the end. :(
Hmmm..... It had great potential, but it became choppy, confusing, drawn out, and then rushed. When someone died, it was sudden and didn't make sense. It was good until it got to the climax, then it fell apart.
