What the actual fuck just happened-- I feel like I'm still getting emotional whiplash from those last two chapters. Literally everything was good up until ch59, albeit getting a little weird in a few places like the stuff with the pill, and I genuinely don't think it was supposed to end there like that. There were so many open ends left unresolved, like Issac's past with Colin, the thing with Bluebell, Kay, Anne and Leo, also Leo himself as a character kind of being left as an enigma, how there was some kind of plot hinted at for Mac, the relationship between Olivia and Pennelope, and also what happened to literally all of the other vampires bc now none of them get any kind of ending. Honestly, I'm just kind of mad, and a bit sad for the author. As an artist and writer myself, I have no clue why they would be okay with doing this kind of disservice to their characters and the story they spent so long working on. Even if Issac was always meant to end up as the killer(which I'm still honestly not convinced on) it could have been done in such a cooler and deserved way, especially since its already clear that the author knows how to write a good story. Not to mention the whole rainbow thing being used as a baby blanket to make the ending appear to have some kind of feeling of "meaning" and almost a cyclical narrative. I do think that the rainbow was always meant to appear at the end, but I honestly think that Issac was meant to have been cured and that it would reappear again when they could both walk in the sun.
OK, I'm going on a bit of a rant now, but, basically, the TLDR here is I'm so very pissed off that I spent my time off work reading this and I wish I'd read the comments first.
