The ending to the great trilogy wasn't what I expected. I mean, the book was really good--I remember thinking during the middle of it how much I loved it and what an awesome review I would give it--but with one twist you didn't see coming (along with the other equally out-of-the-blue but logical turns in the story), everything changed, giving an ending I didn't really like. You see, I'm one of those people who love it when everything works out in the end. It seems to give evidence (even if it's fiction) that every cloud truly does have a silver lining, that you will get what you deserve, even after great times of trouble. But this ending . . . let's just say it doesn't exactly go with what I like, doesn't really warm the heart. I wish at least that certain people hadn't died. It would've been a lot better if a certain person who was thought dead was actually found in the end, or if, um, trident guy, I'll say, or the girl (you know what I'm trying to say, people who have read the book) didn't die. But, you know, you get what you get, and this is still and amazing series.
