Wow, that's a bit much. I get your complaints about a cliffhanger ending, I hate that too, but really, calling it rushed. So many people have that sense, but I don't see it. As for not picking up any of her other books, that's just stupid. So you didn't get the ending you wanted. I stand by my argument, I don't like the ending, mostly because Rachel died and Tobias got screwed over because of it, but that is no reason to avoid the rest of her stuff. I couldn't get into everworld, I admit that. but Remnants was pretty good. As for James and the others, they died. We know this. in the last book Visser 1 targeted animals specifically, removing them in clumps until there were none left on the battlefield.
