It starts out splendidly and keeps it up quite long, just not quite long enough. Legolas Send a noteboard - 28/02/2012 06:29:17 PM
I've never read it, but I have heard good things.

Or you could just say the latter parts are too dragged out, but it feels more like Clarke didn't quite manage to tie things up well. Or possibly she just had a soft spot for the horribly annoying character ruining that part of the book for most everybody else.
