Worldlines was my first review for this website. I agree with yomide regarding the ending being unsatisfactory while addressing the plot. It seemed rushed and the ending seemed too short compared with the rest of the book. The solution to their problem seemed to fall into their laps to push the situation forward instead of them slowly finding the solution. I disliked starting new plotlines at the end to create interest in reading a sequel. (It worked because I want to read the sequel).

Personally, I didn't like the ending, but I think it suits the plot very well. It shows the complex character of the multiverse and opens possibilities for other worldlines.

Besides, i think the main purpose of the story is to introduce the many worlds theory in an exciting manner (which Adam Guest did a really good job at), it is only perfect for the book to end in a many worlds kind of way.
I too agree with this. It was kind of unsatisfactory- I just think that way mostly because I can't fathom a sequel to this story. What else is there to happen?

Well we are about to find out. Although I seriously don't see what more is thee to talk about but the book ending in such manner definitely says there is more to be said. Well we are about to find out, aren't we?

It was a bit strange because I really expected this to be a singular entry in a "Twilight Zone" kind of way, each of the books having separate stories. Either way, what did you think of the ending? I thought it was alright, but I hope that the series doesn't draw out for too long. All good ideas should be used in moderation.

Would have loved it if Gary from another worldline would have dropped in the prison cell of the convicted Gary. The ending was slightly disappointing because of of its simplicity, but still a definite page turner.

I thought the ending was well done. It reinforced the idea of the worldlines. If in each line there is a different decision made, it is nice to see the ending split between two possible outcomes.

Aaahh! That's such a good idea! But I don't think it would've worked the same way the book did.

The ending was more than alright for me, I love how heartbreaking it was. Whether or not it would be drawn out for too long... I want to read the second book to see where the author is trying to take it.

Where you unsatisfied because he still ended up getting convicted?

I was hurt but I wasn't unsatisfied. As for the infinity... I guess I never really focused and let the word sink in... I thought it would be really interesting to see it but now, you're right it would be impossible.

That's a nice way of looking at it. I can't choose, though, knowing that they're still different people. They may belong to different worldlines but they're still part of one universe. But I do love how the author showed the different possible outcomes! I guess that's how I see the ending.

Wesusa wrote: ↑03 Jul 2021, 10:36 I think that that's an excellent way of looking at it; I suppose I was dissatisfied with what was given as a whole, seeing as I already had an expectation of what the novels would be like beforehand.

Did you read spoilers? There's no way I could've predicted that ending.

In fact, it really caught me off guard; I was really rooting for blueline!Gary. What kind of ending would you rather have? I thought it was already beautiful for how heartbreaking it was.

Same here! I was shocked to see others say that it was unsatisfying. I probably shouldn't be, though, since everyone has their own taste. Anyway, for some reason, I wasn't expecting that the author would show possible outcomes on that many worldlines.

The one that shocked me the most, though, was blueline!Gary's fate.

I liked the ending; it was probably my favorite part of the book. Yeah, his life didn't go the way he wanted it to in one worldline, but in another it does. That's the point of the whole book, that there are these different worldlines with all different possibilities. I thought it was cool that it ended with Michelle, showing that in another world maybe things do turn out alright.

I liked the ending. I knew there were four worldlines, and I kept looking for the fourth one to show up. I’m not much for investing in a series, and I probably won’t read the sequel, so the green line gave me hope that Sinead would finally have a relationship with Gary that was more reciprocal: one where she would not be taken for granted or have to endure being choked by a creep. I was also glad that Mary got to see a positive outcome for Gary.

The solutions didnt exactly fall into their laps (maybe it did). The point is if the author tried your suggestion of slowly finding the solution, the book would get boring and, parsonnally, difficult to complet. And besides, the sequel is probably the end game of the unsatisfactory part of the ending.

I was so focused on how they're figuring out how to prove blueline!Gary's innocence. I'd say I forgot about the other worldlines but... I really wasn't expecting the author to be that cruel. And I love it because of that! It made sense.
