Query: Flawed but worthy

This novel suffers foremost from sketchy detail. This could easily have run to twice its length to develop both the city, and Laura's survival. The ending seemed sudden and contrived and was quite a letdown. Still, this is an eminently readable piece of work that stuck with me long after finishing it. It could have been epic, but it is still a very good read.
