The Assassins of Tamurin/YMMV

• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Lale has to face down her former best friend (who doesn't know she's switched allegiances) in order to stop her from murdering her new lover! An emotionally-charged fight to the death between two highly trained assassins! I can't wait to...oh, Lale just warns the guards about her. And they kill her with no problem. In a scene we never get to read. In fact, Lale won't even look at her friend's body to confirm that it's her, so this could almost be sequel bait, if not for the epilogue that firmly establishes that the story is over.
