Helpful Score: 1

I loved everything about this book EXCEPT the ending. I felt like the author weaved an incredibly thorough and detailed story only to just drop it at the end. The story itself is one of the better ones that I have read lately, and I am very glad I picked up this book. However, I felt empty at the end of the story. While it had an overall hopeful ending, there was a lot left to the reader's imagination. In a way, it is a refreshing change, and its uncertainty made me feel more a part of Jiselle's story rather than just an outsider looking in, but I'm not used to books that just end like that. Despite the quasi-unfinished ending, I devoured the book and was drawn into the story, all marks of a well-written plot, well-developed characters, and an overall gifted storyteller. Even with my disappointment in the ending, I highly recommend this book.
