I believe Gilda ended just the way it should have. The only other alternative ending to her survival would be for her to ultimately die. At the end of Gomez's novel, Gilda comes to terms with who she is and she is very content. As we see Gilda struggle constantly with herself throughout the novel, it is enough to know at the end that she is happy and that the future seems bright for her. She has grown tremendously over time, and so has society. As a black person and a woman, there are incredible changes in society that could only truly benefit her. As a vampire, she is faced with both adversity and acceptance. Although vampires have been discovered and are being hunted, society in 2050 is much more accepting to different people. I very much enjoyed the ending of the novel and the result of Gilda's growth. It seems as though things could only get better for gilda from here.
