The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
The God of Endings follows an immortal woman of many names; Anna, Anja, Collette. We follow Collette through her past while also switching off and on to the present day (for Collette at least). Collette goes through many hardships, but in the present she is facing an unexpected hardship: her new and insatiable hunger. While she struggles with her hunger, she also gets caught up in a family that has almost as many lies and secrets as Collette herself.
The God of Endings was a bit slow at first, but soon I was hooked. The story was interesting. Even briefly mentioned characters got me attached. The writing was beautiful.
This book was also a rollercoaster. The constant switching between Collette's past and present was interesting but did occasionally get hard to follow.
My major bone to pick with The God of Endings was how dreadfully long this book was. It had so much filler and unimportant details, while some plot points were rushed or incomplete. There should have been plenty of time to tie things up considering how long this book was.
Despite my complaining, I enjoyed this book and it was a solid 4/5 stars.
If you like:
-The saga-like vibe of Circe that spans over many, many years
-vampires!
-mythology
Then give The God of Endings a try.
