I really wanted to like this book as much as I did the first two. I read them both in October of last year, so I didn't bother to re-read them before I read this one. I felt that I remembered enough, maybe not every single detail, but enough to be going on with. But it took me a really long time to get into this book and longer to read than a book this size normally would. The main reason I'm giving this book 3 stars instead of more is that I felt there is a major plot point left unresolved (or only half resolved at best). I'm talking about the (view spoiler)[ godstars and what that means and are the people who saw Eliza's vision the only godstars and will they defeat the nithilam. (hide spoiler)] To me that sounds like the plot to a whole new book, or perhaps several. Which would be great! Don't get me wrong. But if this book is supposed to be the last in the series (and as far as I know it is) then that is kind of a big thing to leave hanging.
