This ending left me wanting. Ning is on her journey to understand the magic in herself in the hope of stopping the end of the world as she knows it, but her existence is a point of contention. 


I had high expectations for this book, but the narration felt flat and boring to read at times. I liked that the story ended without too many open-ended questions. I also loved the female friendships and Asian representation!
