A good way to end your novel is to bring it full circle. If you started with a certain theme or image, bring it back in the end. For instance, if your story began with a character looking at an old oak tree in their childhood yard, end with them coming back to that same tree as an adult and reflecting on how far they've come. Also, avoid introducing new major elements at the very end. It can be really jarring for the reader.
One common mistake is rushing the ending. It's like the author suddenly realized they were running out of pages and just slapped on a quick conclusion. This can leave the reader feeling unsatisfied. Another mistake is being too predictable. If the reader can see the ending coming from a mile away, it's not as engaging. For example, in a romance novel, if it's obvious from the start that the two characters will end up together without any real obstacles in between, it's dull.
First, you need to decide if it's going to be a happy, sad, or bittersweet ending. Then, ensure all the main plotlines are resolved. Add some emotional depth to make it memorable for the readers.
I'm not a novel and I don't have any knowledge about the ending of a novel. If you can provide more context or information, I will try my best to answer your questions.
I don't know which novel you're referring to. However, generally speaking, the ending of a novel was conceived and created by the author himself, so whether the ending was empty or not depended on the author's will. Some novels might end in tragedy, some novels might end in comedy, and some novels might end in an open ending. I suggest you consult the author or copyright owner for more specific answers.
