I'm so sick of the 100% ambiguous ending! Can someone tell me the point of it? Is it supposed to MAKE ME THINK? I don't need to think! I spent the whole book thinking! To be clear, I don't mind an ending left partly ambiguous, you know, like, they defeated the vampires, but will they make their rocky relationship work? Or something. But to spend the entire book going WILL SHE??? WON'T SHE???, keeping the reader on edge, and then just saying, screw it, I'm not telling you! feels like nothing but a cheap played out gimmick.
I just finished a book about whether or not a girl will commit suicide. And...I'll never know. What is the point of a book like that??? This is a book by an author I like, but grrrrrr! Another book that enraged me hinged entirely upon whether a murder would take place or not, and the ending never revealed it. IMNSHO, the only excuse for leaving a story unfinished like that is the author's untimely death.
