Making a review for the final book in a series is kind of more difficult than other books. I say this because it is more final and the persons view on the book is affected more by what they wanted compared to what they got.Reading this book was not as satisfying as I would like. The meat of the book was pretty good but there was a lot missing. Characters we had grown to accustomed to and liked had few if any pages dedicated to them. I understand you can only fit so much into a book but it was disappointing, we read about them in the first 4 books and then they just fade away. Some of the answers given to  some of the questions brought up previously were also lacking depth. There are some things that are just revealed with no context or backstory which I felt undermined some of the people and things in previous books.The ending is where I really just didn't like where the book went. I HATE when characters let themselves be stepped on. I wont say who but the way some things went was incredibly annoying. I will go so far as to say there are betrayals in some ways. There are also things that have yet to be resolved. Yes that's right people we don't get all of the threads cut. Will the author continue and wrap these up? No clue we know he is making some prequels but that's it so far.I don't see how anything anyone writes will persuade anyone to either buy the book or not if you have gotten this far. Did I enjoy the book? Yes. Did I feel it adequately ended the story? In some ways. Will I reread it like the others? Doubtful but perhaps.
