The Other Places is part three of the WHOLE book (The Black Room, see below).The Black Room, Part 1 – 86 pagesThe Black Room, Part 2– 91 pagesThe Black Room, Part 3 – 69 pagesThe Black Room, Part 4 – 187 pagesI bought parts 3 & 4 together since I figured part 3 was too small to be significant by itself.  Perhaps most who get to this point in reading The Black Room think that way as well.  Anyway, I continued to like this series right up to the cliffhanger -- but that cliffhanger was so different in tone from all that lead up to it that was I a bit turned off (and so almost gave this part #3 just three stars).  However, I’m interested in seeing if the author can pull off the sudden change that he introduced with the cliffhanger, so now I’m on the part 4.
