I love the story and the mood of this but it could use to be 200 pages shorter and then 100 pages longer still to give it a proper ending.
First off - the story takes a lot of twists and turns and anytime they're in a new locatio ntalking to a new character there is a massive infodump that doesn't matter wahtsoever. I don't need pages on classical music and pianos just because a character happens to be into it. Ditto with black magic. Just give me what's important to the story!

As for the ending , if it ended a few pages before I'd be content. But the specific moment it cut off felt cheap. I like open endings but this is an ending where the character I've been following for 600+ pages will get resolution, it is only I that is left out. Feels very constructed to me. He should join me in my confusion.
