I actually disagree with the idea that the book in principle was doomed. After reading the first three novels, I was eager to see how this storyline would play out. While Gillian had austism in the second novel, she wasn't completely unaware, and since the book suggested that her condition was improving in light of the Cerberus experiements on her ending, I would have been willing to believe a teenaged version of doing what this book demands. Also while we know she can't exactly kill TIM, there are other unpredictable places the story could go, and who knows, the book could end with her mission half done, with the whole thing later tied into Mass Effect 3.
