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?Wesusa wrote: ↑16 Jul 2021, 11:34I 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?yomide wrote: ↑07 Jul 2021, 10:54 The ending might kind of seem unsatisfactory. However, the story ending in differently in the worldlines suited the concept of the novel. 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.

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.Wesusa wrote: ↑02 Jul 2021, 17:52 I just finished the book, and I was a bit baffled by how it ended. 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.

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.Raluca_Mihaila wrote: ↑03 Jul 2021, 03:27 I loved the ending! The author managed to give closure by presenting the possibility of a different outcome. The reader can choose the one that suits him/ her best!

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.

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.Shannon Ruane wrote: ↑23 Jul 2021, 08:12 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).

For some reason, I was still shocked that it ended the way it did. 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.Cazrichmond wrote: ↑05 Jul 2021, 06:17 I liked the ending, it suited the premise of the story. It shows that there can be several different outcomes with different worldlines.
