Query: Unsatisfying - clumsy story construction.

The problem here is that the book ended like the power going out at the movies - practically in mid-sentence. That is upsetting and unsatisfying.Characters are being attacked, chased, hunted. A magical flash of light hides what happens to the key character. That's where the book ends.The fact that it is the first book of a trilogy doesn't excuse the lack of resolution. It is the author's duty to manage the construction of the story. It is no one else's responsibility. If the story is too unwieldy, the author should re-work it into connected, but reasonably self-contained segments.This is the first Terry Brooks book I've read. I was sucked in by the dust cover description inviting "new readers" and assuring this book would be good for first time readers.Well, BAH! on that! I hate the feeling this book left me with, and l feel cheated of the time I invested in reading it.
