A tale of two stories...
Halfway through the book, I gave it 5 stars. After finishing it, I want to give it two (but ended up giving it three). I have to review it as two stories. The first half is GREAT. A few glaring plot holes, but the action made up for them and it was enjoyable. The second half was... bad.

The story had epic promise ("epic" as in C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, etc) but the plot in the second half... I could give many examples but I don't want to give any spoilers if you decide to listen to it. It is obvious the author put alot of work into the story and I never want to be the one that trashes another's labor of love, but the story's ending just didn't live up to its promise. A shame, really, because it did have a great premise.
