Deus ex Machina

Deus Ex Machina is a term used by excessive book geeks for an ending in which the main problem is suddenly solved by a strong outside force, with little buildup to the resolution. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness is full of this, with five out of the six main novels having such an ending:
Wolf Brother: And just then, Wolf came out of nowhere with the Nanuak, brought it to the World Spirit, and KABOOM!! Hord and the bear die.
Spirit Walker: Torak and Tenris fight in the water, and just like that, a fucking whale comes and eats Tenris, problem solved.
Soul Eater: Nef does le epic kamikaze neck rope toaster bath cliff jump head pew pew funni method, making her death the only real suicide in the series.
At least Outcast has an actual resolution…
Oath Breaker: Thiazzi falls from a tree, then the world spirit comes and makes everything green and stops the forest fire. The end, problem solved.
Ghost Hunter: A fucking pile of rocks crushes both Eostra the Eagle owl mage and Torak, but somehow Torak survives. What the hell?
