> It feels like book 3/4 but he has not finished the story Worse: Children felt like the author stalling for time on the greater plot. Chekov's gun isn't just left unfired; the author takes it down, polishes it a bit, and puts it back on the mantle without firing a shot. Assuming that it's still canon, The Blabber tells us how it ends, but there's some very interesting stuff in between we're still waiting for.
