i liked the majority of the book, but felt it kind of fell apart at the end. i felt very unsatisfied and that there were a lot of loose threads that will never be tied.

actual story content is solidly a 5 star, but the way the book is structed is 4.25/4.5 out of personal preference. i highly recommend reading book 1-3 in the order of the short, abstract stories first in Whole, and then reading the rest of the book. i found the constant interrupting of events grating.
