![]() ![]() ![]() This is probably an unpopular opinion but I thought that ending was REALLY rushed and kinda just slapped together in the last 50 pages and I just wasn’t very satisfied with it. U HAVE SO MUCH UNFINISHED BUSINESS TO DO ON EARTH U STILL HAVE TO EXPOSE GODDARD DONT LET A BOY RUIN UR PLANS FOR WORLD DOMINATION QUEEN. Citra’s character was really tarnished at the end when she initially told Greyson she wasn’t going to spend the next how many years floating around in some bing tin can but then she did a COMPLETE 180 after seeing Rowan there and all of a sudden was like “omg yeah I’ll go with u to colonize a new planet lol” like WTF?!?!?!? GIRL U BETTER THAN THAT. Omg I bloody HATE the ending Rowan and citra got. But unfortunately that was about the only legendary thing about that ending. Ok I just finished the toll and first of all I’d like to say that I believe the username I chose for myself is even more justified being that scythe rand is the baddest bish in the book and the way she ended Goddard was LEGENDARY. ![]()
