Review: Such a disappointment after the first two

I didnt realize this was a short story, so some of the disappointment is my own fault, but this book was really more suited to an anthology vs it's own book. She could have easily distilled it down to 50-60 pages and it wouldnt have lost much. As the "finale" of the trilogy, it's even more disappointing.The story is Brynmor's tale, but it doesnt advance or even touch on the metaplot (the yellow death) except in the tiniest of ways. It doesnt adress the .. er, limitations or repercussions of Bryn's 'condition.' It ends very abruptly with without the tiniest indication of how or even *if* [what they end up doing] will work. It has really no plot other than to give Bryn the outline of a mate and a future (and even that's stretching it).Like I said, the best way I can describe this book is it would have worked perfectly in an anthology. If you absolutely love Brynmor as a character and cant live without knowing about him, you'll enjoy it. For everyone else who enjoyed the world and the fleshed out characters, including _having a plot_ and character development, skip this one. You wont miss anything. I hope the author changes her mind and writes at least one more book to give readers a sense of closure. She built an interesting world in the first two and to leave the series hanging like this, well.. I guess the one-word-description is disappointment. I really think she owes the series, characters and world, and the readers more than that. Fingers crossed! :) C'mon Ms Edwards, youre a better storyteller than that.
