The axe was so harsh that I'm tempted to say to avoid this series as a whole. For what is here, I really enjoyed it! It had potential and was fun, but the axe didn't cause a rushed ending... There was no ending. It stopped in the middle of events without any conclusion. The only thing worse than that was the chapters getting close to the end that didn't actually progress the story in any way.
A good idea killed right when it was getting good. Consider avoiding it for the lack of an ending. This isn't a, "It's about the journey," kind of deal. The journey just stops.
