chat about Gossamer (possible spoilers)

I referred to it only obliquely in my review, but there were some aspects of Gossamer I found disappointing, and talking it over with Evan, he felt the same way. We both found the climax a bit of a letdown; as he put it, "It seemed to be building up to be about a war, and turned out to be about a battle."

That was what held me back from giving it a starred review, beautiful though I found it.

Anyone else feel this way or have something to add?
