" This book's structure was so weird. It spent HOW many pages building up the whole situation? Then it spent basically 10 pages (maybe even less?) wrapping it all up. The whole book was people going, "The Nighters did whaaa?!" "The Lighters did whaaa?!" "The demons did whaaa?!" "HUUUH?!" "OOOH I GET IT!" The End. It was odd. It almost felt like Brennan wanted to write this long well formed book... and then ran out of time at the end. Things wrapped up too fast. Not enough description, not enough dialogue, not enough character connections at the end. The first 7/8 of the book was fine and dandy... it's just the final 1/8th was too short. I feel like I just had this amazing climb up a mountain. Great scenery, and excited to get to the top to see what's there... then at the top there's the bottom again. Makes you go "...what?" Right? Yeah.. that's basically how I felt at the end of this book. "
