Gabriel&#8217;s daughter is so cute! I also like that Lauren has so many powers now.

At least six name characters died. The book felt a bit depressing with the End of Days and so many deaths. It felt like too much. At least Bonnie felt a bit unsettled about the soldier&#8217;s death. It seems like everyone else takes every death but loved ones and children in stride. Though her resigning to the earth&#8217;s destruction, I couldn&#8217;t quite accept. Maybe it&#8217;s a personal thing, but I have some trouble about the world ending and just accepting it.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">And unfortunately, Listener never become my favorite person.
