dapperreads 's review for:

The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland
3.5
medium-paced

I’m finding this one difficult to review so I’ll tell you a story:

I started this book a week ago. Listened to about 60%, went to bed and literally forgot about it. I. Forgot. About. It. So I opened the NetGalley app and saw it, remembered I was listening to it and attempted to pick up where I left off. I was confused so I backed it up a bit. Then I was remembering it all and didn’t want to sit through it again so I went back to where I’d started and listened through. 

Basically to summarize, I did very much enjoy the last 40%. It was interesting and I definitely wanted to know what happened. However, if you’re a rereader like myself, I can’t say this book fits that mold exactly since it had only been a week and I couldn’t relisten to hardly any of it. Do I wanna know what’s next? Absolutely, I’ll be continuing. It was decently paced and the narrator was great too. 

So even though I completely forgot about it leading me to believe this isn’t the most memorable, the inability to read it again because I knew everything already leads me in the other direction- see my reviewing dilemma??

I think I’m going with 3.5⭐️, rounded up of course because I did like it but I’m conflicted. 

Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook, and Flatiron for the paperback!
