The Forge of God

This was a great read; well written, vivid, sad, uplifting, and so suspenseful that I couldn't do anything else besides making sure I would finish it.

A couple of minor annoyances, the first is that I felt there was maybe too many characters; I remembered and could relate with over half of them but the other half characters didn't feel fleshed out enough.

The second minor annoyance.....the book ended too abruptly, and I felt that the last part ( no spoiler here ) was too short and could and should have been either much short, leaving the last 10-20 pages to be expanded on in a second book of its own.

Overall though....wow, that was a great way to spend a weekend !
