There is quite a bit of good in this book. The format works well and a lot of it is interesting. Ultimately, though, it fails to deliver a true conclusion. Even the title feels misleading at the end of it all. Additionally the whole thing is undercut by unexpected POV shifts and almost caricature levels of political correctness in the book’s America.

had a really interesting premise but just got really boring and headed nowhere by the end, so was overall disappointing

Estaba preparada para darle cinco estrellas. El libro me atrapó desde el inicio. El estilo epistolar me encanta y este acercamiento al vampirismo desde una perspectiva de realismo mágico social me pareció muy interesante. Sin embargo, el final de dejó con sabor a poco.
No esperaba un "final cerrado" porque ya desde el comienzo se nos dice que la historia de la humanidad no tiene un final y que esta es una recopilación de lo ocurrido desde el descubrimiento del primer vampiro y hasta "ahora" (el presente de la novela). Y, de todas formas, creo que le faltó algo. Que perdió mucha fuerza. Que podría haber apuntado a más con su cierre. Tal vez con una reflexión más completa hubiese alcanzado, no sé.
En fin. Me encantó la novela, salvo el final. Y pronto haré una reseña más completa.
