The characters do not get together in this book. Lots of questions aren't answered. The book does not end on a cliffhanger, but I think of this as the first part of a story. When the rest of the series comes out I'll be better able to judge.
These characters are very easy to root for, especially the protagonists and their patron. Ellen and Kael are dealing with some pretty heavy emotional baggage. Fantastic worldbuilding and baddies. Fast-paced and clear action sequences.
So I think it's fantastic but incomplete. If you want to know will-they-won't-they, you'll have to wait until the series progresses.
