Question reality

Better than it seems
The novel ended pretty strong. But there were several scenes which were...gratuitous. Amusing, but not moving any plot points forward.

This could have been a good story. But it needs to have more information on the world. Plot line was a little thin and every thing solved in the Last few pages and felt really rushed. There was very little character building. I will not be reading anything else from this author.
