End of Watch
Sep. 8th, 2025 04:47 pmMy feelings about this last instalment in the Bill Hodges trilogy are very similar to those about the previous two - I liked the characters a lot, the plot was interesting, it made me shout at my phone quite a bit, it was really very grim in places, and the flashbacks to expand on stuff I already knew got a bit annoying over time.
I think I would have preferred the story to remain non-supernatural in nature, but those aspects didn't bother me too much in the end. I wasn't sure I'd want to continue with the spin-off series following Holly, but then the cutesy epilogue won me over and now I may well do.
I'm glad I saw this trilogy through to the end, even if my enjoyment went down a bit with each book.
