What? Wait a second... THAT was the ending?! WTF!
I can't believe there was all that build up for THAT!
For one, Riley was never resolved. I mean, the author kinda sorta tried to, I guess. But it was a halfhearted attempt at best. And Jude and Riley and Lia never really figured out their s**t pretty much at all. They never forgave or resolved anything. They just kept looping around the same way they always did (view spoiler). Although, honestly, I was pretty done with the whole fighting between the three of them thing, anyway. I didn't really feel much when Riley finally disappeared (and I think that I should have because he was a pretty big character through the book), but it was almost a relief because I was pretty fed up with him and Lia and Jude by that point.
I guess I'm glad that Lia and Zo kind of figured each other out. And that it felt real. Lia finally started seeing her sister as a kicka** lady. And her sister finally started realizing that treating Lia the way that she was wasn't very productive or healthy. And I like that the whole Dad reveal was intense and emotional. And very, very sad. However, the whole Mom thing was dumb. It didn't really resolve anything. Or add anything. Or further the plot, really. I think the only reason it was added was to be a bridge between Lia, Jude, and Call Me Ben.
Even the Kiri thing was too obvious.
And the whole ending was pretty f***ing stupid. It's almost like this book was supposed to be a build up for the next novel. But there isn't a next novel, so why the s**t ending? It was such a let down. I don't know where it all really went wrong, but it was like the author ended it before she actually had the ending set. There were all these bad guys with BioMax and The Brotherhood, but then it just came down to one person at one place doing one bad thing (basically) and Lia disappearing. But not really. (view spoiler). Which is the dumbest s**t possible.
