An elegant, leisurely paced vampiric epic, the easiest way to summarize The God of Endings, is that it is a thoughtful mix of A Dowry of Blood (first-person narrative featuring a female vampire), and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (an undying protagonist who lives across centuries and observes the evolution of humanity).

Even though at times I question whether its drawn-out length is truly necessary (I went in expecting this to be more of a horror novel, but in retrospect it definitely leans more towards historical fiction in style), and I'm much more engaged in the contemporary narrative comparing the historical ones (where the material is a little bit 'been there, done that'), yet as a whole I really enjoy Jacqueline Holland's emotive writing style, and a very mature, thoughtful, and creative look at beginnings and endings.
