I enjoyed the book and I liked the twist at the end, but god, that ending was so unfulfilling. I don't want the author to say, "Here, the ending is unfinished so you can make it up!" That feels lazy and unsatisfying. Blegh. I am disappointed. The writing was overall very good and engaging, but I just kept looking at the amount I had left and thinking, "surely not, surely there's more, right????"
