The ending was very rushed. I always hate that feeling when there is only 15 pages left, but there are way too many unresolved things happening in the plot. And a lot of the conclusion relied heavily on Rory deciding to "do the right thing" and sacrifice herself to save everyone else in hell. But it didn't make sense that Nell would have been able to plan all of that out (it's not like he had some insider knowledge to the Shadowlands before he went there). And then he was able to manipulate one of the Lifers to help him get what he wanted. It was just such an odd conclusion to the book.
And the whole Tristan/Joquain/Rory love triangle didn't do it for me. For one, I don't like love triangles. I think they are cheap. For another, she not only decides to be macking on another guy like two days after her boyfriend disappears, but it also happens to be her boyfriend's best friend. Like, how shitty can you be? Plus, they are all Lifers, so it's not like she wouldn't be seeing them for the rest of eternity or anything.
