It's too bad you didn't read a little farther.  The 51st page
is where it gets really good :-).  Seriously, I found the first
book (of three) a little slow, though interesting.  The second
book really had me hooked, and the third BLEW ME AWAY.  I did wish,
however, that the ending had been less rushed.  I got the feeling
Saberhagen could have written another 50-100 pages, perhaps delving
into more detail about the fate of the main characters.

You don't say why you "put it down".  Was it the plot you didn't like,
or did you find the writing sub-par, or...?
