Review: Really liked this but......

As other reviewers said, the book does jump around too much.  Staying on the same character/story line for more than a few pages at a time would definitely improve the reading and keep the reader from being thrown out of the story line to figure out who/where/when/why..  Very disruptive.  And, I agree that the ending wasn't an ending.  It's as if the author's deadline was looming and she just quit writing all of a sudden.  I don't mind reading a series if each book has a completed story line/plot while keeping enough going on to lead into the next book.  This did not.  (As another reviewer cited, the Harry Potter series is a great example of how to do a series.)  Other than those things, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next.  Had hoped that I had found a new fantasy author that I could read, but the rest of her books look like true sci/fi which I do not like.  Was really hoping for a new author with lots of good books.  Guess I'll keep on looking.
