I’ve just finished reading Beautiful Shining People by Michael Grothaus. I found it an unusual read – the world building was excellent and the characters, for the most part, were unique and varied (I particularly enjoyed Goeido’s character), but I found the plot somewhat frustrating and in particular the very last page raised a lot of questions for me. I understand that this could well have been intentional but haven’t seen much discussion around this book online.
Spoiler below:
>!Do you think that Inu’s collar lighting up at the very end of the book signified that Neotnia was in fact alive? And if so, does that mean she survived and will return or that, despite her best efforts, she was eventually found by Avance? !<
I’m interested to hear what other readers made of the ending and the book in general!
