The Last Labyrinth

Most Helpful Review

"There were a few questionable historical choices early in the book (houses in 6th century Britain did not have glass windows) that made me consider DNFing, and I wish I had. But the writing was good and the premise was interesting, so I decided to keep going, and the book got better.I learned interesting facts about female composers throughout history, which was a plus. The love story was nice, and the two main characters were likable, even if the heroine is Not Like Other Girls. I got worried, though, when I had read 80% of the book and we were nowhere near finished with the plot arc.When my Kindle said I had 4% of the book left, I figure there had to be a sequel, because there was no way this sweeping-across-time-and-space story was going to resolve in the few pages left. I held onto that belief until the last page, when the story just...ended. No real conclusion. No epilogue. Just me with a furrowed brow and a growing sense of anger that the author and the multitudes of people that she credited in her afterword ALL thought that this was okay. It was like watching a movie and having the last ten minutes cut off the end, and the studio saying, "No, that's how we meant for it to be! You're fine with this, right?"I am not fine. If I hadn't gotten this book for free on Amazon First Reads, I would be returning it. As it is, I'm deleting it permanently from my account, because seeing it in my library will only remind me of its truncated ending and how disappointed I was."
