Interesting book but somehow it left me wanting. Though the book is lacking sound character development and jumps right into the story. It could really used some build up or explanation of what was going on but fell flat in several areas. The Book has some really good ideas and probably could have expanded on the ending instead of leaving it like it was, so as a trilogy it would have probably fared better. At times the plot was confusing, some issues with the characters which at time were too vague, probably keeps the reading wanting more to develop. At the middle of the book it starts to pull together as the reader realizes what the story has evolved into. The story seems original but also seems like several other books that I've read. I do enjoy this author and intend to read another of his books. I did like it and gave it three stars although many readers will probably rate it closer to 2 or 2 1/2 . Enjoy
