Like the Flying Dutchman this story seems destined to never reach shore, or in this case a conclusion. This particular installment is particularly unsatisfying as it covers very little ground and does so in excruciating detail. The rumor that this series will conclude in a mere twelve total volumes seems unfounded based on the current pacing and amount of material to be covered.So a word to the wise, if you haven't started the series don't. If you have don't buy this book, go to your library and get on the waiting list. Trust me, you can wait.
