Review: 3.5 really... Too much left unresolved for me

I really like this series.. a lot.  Yet this book just left too many things unresolved for me.  The momentum at the beginning was great.  The witty interactions are there, the build up...  then they get back to London and it is all a jumble.  There are issues and they are either resolved too quickly (one conversation with 'Papa' pushed by Cas and she is all set?) or are not resolved at all (Charlie! or going back to Vienna? or Wladek or how suddenly George is able to trust or the wedding night).  Sabre goes from not caring if she is socially outcast in book two to being portrayed as caring more about her title and status in book three and her conflict with George seems poorly resolved as well.  I am still not sure which seemed less explored- George's love of knives or painting or her trust issues.I really like Casimir.  I really like Gideon and Jack are what they have been all along.  I really am not sure whether to love or hate Robert, and think that is intentional!  I want to see George and Casimir succeed, but didn't close this book confident they would.It seems like I lost a chapter between 48 and 49 that would have enabled me to hang off the cliff for the next book instead of feeling like I hit wall.Still- Sue London can really write- she is gifted.  This is worth the read if you like the series and I hope there is some resolution in the Bittlesworth boys
