I wasn't sure when I started this if I was going to like it--the writing seemed a bit rough. However, I soon got into it and found it an interesting read. Not that complex, but entertaining.My main complaint is that, while I don't object to a story being continued in a future volume, I do expect each volume to have an ending of some sort. I'm accustomed to books ending with a near-cliffhanger but I don't think I've ever read one before that just *stopped* virtually in the middle of a conversation. The file didn't even have a "the end" or anything. Two people are conversing and then there's just no more text. It was more annoying than you might believe--the author would have needed no more than a few sentences to wrap up the current scene and lay the groundwork for the next volume but they didn't bother. Add to that a profusion of grammar and punctuation errors--never quite enough to make me stop reading but enough to interrupt the flow of the story, and....I find myself thinking, "Well, if the author didn't care about their own story any more than this, why should I?"  Not sure if I'd buy the next volume in the story or not. This kind of seemingly minor annoyance can linger--especially when it's your last 'view' of a book.
