I loved this. I have always loved the idea of concepts or entities like the darkness or the ocean being gods or consciousness with thoughts and feelings and needs and wants. And the way that the stories of both Addie and Henry are told with the time jumps and all that in between was amazing. It made me really inspired.
I didn't like the thought of the darkness not being capable of love. And the fact that in all those years that Addie has lived she still thinks of all this as a game when he clearly really loves her. Just because he is a god and the darkness personified does not mean he doesn't love her. So the ending was a little disappointing to me, especially since Addie is supposed to have grown and evolved so much during all this time and she still holds to this naive notion that he can only be playing a game. But I still did really love it.
