This was a brilliant book, but the ending completely ruined it for me.
Very clever, explaining simply about racism and discrimination and injustice.
But the ending just killed it for me. There could have been a thousand other ways to end it, still getting the reader to feel emotional. I personally feel like what even is the point of going on to read the next book if it ended like that.
Its important that books make the reader feel something, but some things are just too sad. While I was reading this book, I couldn't relax because of the unfairness and the misunderstandings and the stupidity and the innocence and the injustice. It was all unfair, which was how it was meant to be written, but the ending just... I feel like it was too much.
So many other ways to write the ending
It almost turned a bit Divergenty the way everyone was dying ugh
There's a certain amount and type of characters who die in a book before it just gets too sad and it seems like the story isn't going to lead to anything other than death.
