Only Half a Story
About two thirds of the way through it starts becoming obvious that the story isn't going to wrap up in this volume. I'm okay with the idea of a multi-volume saga, but in previous series Scalzi at least wrapped up the story in each book, and then the next book is more of a sequel. In this case the book just ends pretty much right in the middle of the action. It's almost as if he wrote an entire story and them his publisher decided to chop it in half to make more money. I loved the writing, the characters and the story but am not a fan of the "cliff hanger" ending.
