It ended well. Also there is room for a sequel so I think the author did a great job. I hate any writing that is dragged out.

This is a nice book, I like the ending. I must say it look predictable to me though, it is an interesting story for me.

The ending seemed to happen pretty fast and it was also pretty predictable. I prefer it when we get a total shock in the ending, but overall, it was still pretty enjoyable to read.

The ending seemed a bit rushed compared to the slow and steady pace throughout the rest of the story. Most of the subplots were resolved. So, the conclusion did leave me intrigued and anxious for the next installment.

I feel that everything was wrapped up, but I felt that there's still more to the story. So in a way, I guess I left the novel wanting more.

I will read then give my opinion. I've been seeing lots of good comments on this book that I'm a little puzzled to see here that someone thinks the end was rushed.

Bothofus07 wrote: 04 Mar 2020, 10:57 I enjoyed the story and felt part of the mystery...until everything was just suddenly exposed and wrapped up. It felt rushed and anticlimactic.
It was still an enjoyable story, and beautifully written.
I felt that not only was the whole ending rushed, but we never got a chance to see Bridget’s information go public for everyone to know.

I felt like it was very abrupt and that the Seamus ending was really weird.

I also felt that we knew mostly who the bad guy was at the beginning. So the revaluations at the end weren’t super shocking.

Yes the story ended without proper wrapping of some of the characters. But I sense a possibility of the author continuing this series in the near future.

The ending was satisfying and happy, because it felt truly connected, wrapping everything up very neatly and aptly.

I haven't read this book yet but judging from the comments, I bet the book seems interesting. I can't wait to read and unravel the mysteries in it.
Books are beautiful.

I feel that the end was good and wrapped everything up. I too feel it was rushed and the story was unbalanced. It dragged on in the beginning and the end was swift.

I didn't get the "wow!" feeling after I finished the book. The end was rather satisfying with minor bits of unpredictability. But as an overall, I enjoyed the story.
