For the obvious reason of the title I wasn't really wanting to finish this book since I didn't want the series to end. But I needed to before my borrow time from the e-library was over (since I can't really afford the luxury of new books right away at the moment) and it was yanked from my e-reader and I have to say I was pleased. It ended the way you expected and wanted the series to and I am bittersweet about the end. Eventually I will have the entire set in physical form but this is a series that even knowing how it all ends I would read over and over again.
