I wasn’t really all that excited about the book to be honest – I’m not the biggest fan of the series, though I definitely enjoyed it. I really didn’t think the author could manage to come up with an ending that lived up to all of the expectations people had developed.

Long story short, she did. I was impressed with how well the ending fit, and how complex, startling, and appropriate it was. I had some minor gripes (epilogue!) but really, it was amazing and a really fun read.
