Will the Half-Made World ever be made?

I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.
Voltaire

For my first introduction to Steampunk, I was very satisfied and really enjoyed The Half-Made World. It was interesting to see such contradictory ideas come together and intermingle. It was an epic battle of technology and western cultural ideals and the winner is still yet to be determined.

So here is a summary of what I liked:
- All the characters were flawed. Today I feel like Authors are writing these sickeningly perfect characters and I find it rather boring.
- The descriptions were amazing. See previous post.
- The Prologue was probably one of my favorite parts of the book. It really set the tone for the story.

What I thought was weak:
- I am going to have to say the ending. Everything builds up so fast in the beginning and I felt the story peeked to early. The last book kind of just strolled along. I am not saying it didn't have it's moments, but it would have been nice to have some climatic moment that brought things together more or answered some questions.

But, for those wondering, the book is very open ended because Gilman is planning on writing a sequel. And I would be very interested in seeing if the Half-Made World will ever be complete.
