Martin’s back and forth style, that also took inspiration from Gabriel García Márquez’s magical realism -if you read “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, you’ll get where I come from- but the spirit is there the inconclusiveness. After all, most book sagas in the last installment write the characters up to a logical conclusion while giving us a route as they go throughout the story. As the books cut back for background stories, realizations, and emotional resonance of the characters, the events are constantly interrupted, and that becomes a problem when it’s the final book of the saga. That isn’t to say the other chapters aren’t worthwhile because they will provide readers with more than they anticipate.ĭespite the well-structured plot, the protagonists significantly slow down the pace and maybe this is where the book falls short. The story arcs called ‘The Lighthouse and the Keeper’ and ‘The Dreamer’ are the most interesting in the novel and most fans agree. Some characters make a surprise return when the audience least expects it. When it comes to the framework of ‘Leviathan Falls,’ the action is split between multiple viewpoints. Since we don’t know how infinite the universe is, the authors play with the concept of the vastness of space and relentlessness. The authors of Leviathan Falls consider that the book gives more closure to the story arc than what the television show will do. Since we don’t know if the Goths were to stop because of the physical effect of the rings or their intentions, that was left on purpose by the writers for us to speculate. The closing of the gates was simply the consequence of the blast. And that hampered the ability of the Goths -Corey doesn’t say it in the book explicitly- to transit. Read: Are Lil Scrappy and Bambi Still Together? The Latest on Them The explosionīy closing the gates, Holden overloaded the ring station and made it explode. By itself, closing the gates wasn’t just the event, when Elvi explains that the Goths knew if a billet worked, that would detain all traffic thanks to the hive’s mind. Additionally, the epilogue takes us a whole millennia after the facts. They were probably 60 years old and their life expectancy is about 150 years. We must also consider that the crew grew old by the time Holden destroyed the rings. It’s very probable that they came back to their old ways of fighting once that ring was no longer there. Once closed, the influence on reality was no longer there.Īnd while many might ask what happened to others like Elvie and Naomi, bear in mind that those are only two people out of billions of inhabitants. You see, the rings were a bridge to Holden and civilization.
Because the only link that the goth had to the universe to which Holden belonged was the Ring system. Still, shutting the gates didn’t save them because they all died. Essentially, the gate builders had to close the gates because the Goths were massacring them. Right at the end of the book, the builders had put every ring on a sort of “standby” mode.
