Review: Tries to be Epic

I enjoyed the first half of the book, but I found that the various plot threads began to unwind and the story was falling apart by the end.  For me, there's simply too many characters and too many threads with too little holding it all together.In addition, no matter how dire the situation, somehow, at the last possible instant, something happens to rescue the good guys from imminent defeat, death and doom.  I like stories where folks persevere through moments of despair and emerge victorious, but it happened too often and was too formulaic for my tastes.
