I just finished Cherryh's Conspirator, and am now very frustrated. Not that it was a bad book -- it wasn't, and I had a splendid time revisiting the feuding Atevi. The problem was that it ends on what -- if one is at all prone to getting absorbed in Atevi politics -- is a major cliffhanger, and I'll have to wait until at least late this year to find out what happens next.

It isn't quite the usual pattern of mad scramble followed by breathing-space. It doesn't quite end in the middle of a firefight, but definitely at a moment of tension and change. Very disconcerting.
