This book was so good up until the end. The ending felt like the author didn’t know how to wrap it up in an interesting way so they left it completely open with no explanation for what was happening or why. It was really disappointing.

This book was really boring to me, it didn’t pick up until about 60% through. I didn’t enjoy how it was written for the most part.

I loved this book up until the end. It felt like the author just couldn’t come up with a good conclusion so he made it extremely open ended with zero explanation for what was happening or why.
