This book has the potential to be great but the pacing is off. Without hint of a sequel, it seems as if the story came to an abrupt halt after much of the story being dedicated to surface level interactions and running around. The conflict was resolved in a few pages and the rest of the story was the characters merely going from place to place without much depth. I am unsure of why the last chapter was written the way it was because it seems that the motivations for the characters just flipped out of nowhere. The epilogue is exciting and could be the beginning of an interesting sequel but if none is to be written, it is almost a waste to have it at all.
