A Place of Rest

Just finished a Kindle/Amazon book called "A Place of Rest" by Luke Spychalla.  It was a good book that held my interest but seemed to jump from one genera to another.  It started out very futuristic sci-fi then evolved into spiritual/mythical.  The author fluctuated between the future date and past dates.  That was done smoothly, I thought, even though it did not say when it was each time.  The descriptive pictures painted by the author were lovely and you felt a part of them, although sometimes it was over-done and carried on too long.  Those seemed to slow down the narrative and bring you back from being engrossed by the story.  I thought the science descriptions were done well without going into too much detail.  All in all, would I recommend it?  Yes.  I had to read it all to find out the ending.  Was I satisfied with the ending?  Not quite but it did not leave you hanging.
