Ending of this book( possible spoilers)

Post by AntonelaMaria »

How did you feel about the ending? What did you like, what did you not like, and what do you wish had been different? Was the ending satisfying?.

I liked the ending. I think all the loose ends were tied pretty well. I also liked how the true hero of the story is an anonymous brave person who works in shadows and for the welfare of our countries and planet. That was the real part of this book, not just fiction, in my opinion. How many people are working every day to make this place safer? And they don't do it for glory or fame or money! I feel like this book should be a dedication to all the whistleblowers out there. I find the ending of the book very positive and satisfying.

I liked the ending but it lost a bit of it's luster for me. It felt a little detached and rushed.

I feel it, too. Abrupt ending! Our mind usually wanted more the romantic bond between the couple as the novel was denoted to them. I thought it might be in the ending, again as I said in the other topic, their romance was sugarcoated with the word 'honeymoon.'

You described it exactly! I was more invested in the Sharon/Steve romance than Kelly and Tom at the end. They seemed forced. It seemed like the author kind of got in their groove from the middle of the book on, with the beginning characters floundering a bit.

You explained it perfectly. I think I just gave up early on the "romantic" aspect of this book so when nothing happened, in the end, I wasn't disappointed.

Liked the ending, too. But I wished it didn't feel so abrupt.

I like the ending. Though it was abrupt, it made sense of all the sub-plots that the author used in this book.

I loved the ending of the book so much! It was very exciting to see how everything resolved and how the subplots connected at the end. The author did an outstanding job with the ending.

I agree with you, everything connected well at the end.

The ending didn't feel particularly ground-breaking since we already knew about Kim Jung Lo's sabotage, but I can't say I have any particular complaint. It ties the loose ends and gives a reasonable conclusion to the climax. Nothing spectacular, but it works.

Even though the end seemed to be a bit abrupt, but still it was nice. Author has done a good job. So it was fine with me

Exactly! I feel this way too. I personally enjoyed Steve and Sharon's relationship better because I felt like there was a real connection between them.

I agree, the ending was pretty well written, but I wish the author had of spent more time getting readers ready for the sudden ending.

I'm a teacher. I'm not blowing my own horn but teachers try to make the world a better place every day. There is no credit but there is a sense of a job well done and saved even without the credit, like teaching. Excellent book!

And that is the fact that made me like this book so much. I like a celebration or even just acknowledgment everyday heroes. of Also :tiphat: for being a teacher you are right you don't get enough credit if any at all...
