Discuss the ending of "Thin Places" (SPOILERS)
Posted: 01 Feb 2013, 22:32
This topic is for discussion of the ending of the February 2013 book of the month, "Thin Places" by Diane Owens Prettyman. Please wait to read this topic until you have finished the book because this topic will contain spoilers.
What do you think of the ending of Thin Places? Was it satisfying or did leave to many unanswered questions?
Most novels disappoint me with their endings, especially if I like them. There are many books that I thought would make it to my top 10 list until I read the last chapter or two. So it is tough to impress me. Perhaps endings are hard to enjoy because if you like a book and are emotionally invested in its story and characters, you hate to say goodbye.
In any case, relatively, I found the ending of Thin Places decently satisfying. I like sad endings better than happy ones. Thin Places followed a few of the "and they lived happily ever after" cues, but made up for it to me by splitting up Finn and Chloe. I was unsatisfied at that, though, because I found it hard to understand why they were splitting up, if we are expected to believe it would be permanent. I would have loved more information on this.
Considering endings are so hard to do, I think Thin Places does a good job.
