As "The Gilda Stories" came to an end it seemed to be lackluster. The book as a whole was interesting and intriguing, however the last 2 chapters seemed to draw out unnecessary events that made the story turn away from its point and intent. I think Gomez could have wrote less about interventions and talking about "off worlders" and stuck with the story line more.
In just, There did not seem to be any closure in the ending. Although we do know Gilda survives and continues with her life of immortality, we don't know for how long. If the world is crumbling and becoming a scarce place of humanity, then wouldn't the vampires eventually die? I believe they would because there would be no way for them to continue feeding because there would be no more humans. I think Gomez could have concluded the book somehow with the fact maybe they did eventually go off world, even though it is an obscure science fiction twist to the story, but at least it is a conclusion where the vampires could continue with their lifestyle.
If not, maybe they died off because they did not want to leave their world? Gilda and her Immortal fiends could have died the ultimate death by giving themselves up because they fulfilled their life.
Over all it was a good book, I just think the ending could have used some work in bringing better closure to readers.
