Query: Just want to know how it ends.

I suffered through this book just to get to the end of the overall story. It's generally not a good thing when a non-writer is thinking of better sub-plots, while reading, than the author has come up with. All the characters and factions have lost the richness and depth that was in the original stories. I wasn't expecting him to live up to his father's standards, but this falls short of all my standards aside from correct spelling and grammar. I have never seen such bad execution of a good story.
