MILD SPOILER

I wish the ending had been more obviously happy. It ends on a positive hopeful note but I'm a sucker for clear happy endings. After the ending of Malice, I was really holding out for a happy happy ending. I suppose I will just have to suck it up and make up a post ending happy reunion in my head.

Edit ok I rated it 4 initially but couldn't get over the ending. Especially the part where they both had taken other lovers at some point(s) through those 100 years. Was that necessary? Was it just to show more growth? We've seen them grow already. I personally just would've preferred them to have faith in their love and eventual reunion. I mean, Alyce already went through 100 years being celibate, what's another 100 more?

This book made me so goddamn angry. Racism just accepted cause "that's just the way Asian mothers are", lesbian character cheats with a boy, just ugh. No.

I honestly had to check this book hadn't been written by a man a little bit into the book. Also, tw for rape??

I couldn't get very much past the rape bit and gave up on the book, so I can't comment on whatever the ending might have been and how the plot is. The actual writing of the book however, is pretty bad. The characters feel like caricatures and absolute stereotypes. Pity, I was all ready to enjoy a cute defy-the-odds romance.

Maybe it's that I lack substance as a person, but the writing was too... beautifully poetic/perfect? for me to believe that normal everyday people speak and think like that. Do people out there speak that existentially? Maybe its just something that comes with the astronomy and monster hunting territory.
