This week's topic is: Top Ten Best/Worst Series Enders
*in no particular order
Let me first say that for these "worst" endings, or as I am calling them, "most unenjoyable", it's not that I ended up hating the book or regret reading the series. Not at all. I still enjoyed the series and everything, it was just that I was left with too many questions at the series ending and I don't like that when I know a series is over.
MOST UNENJOYABLE
1. DARK SWAN SERIES
by Richelle Mead
by Richelle Mead
I just felt like the ending was a little disappointing. Choices that were made and how things aren't really settling down.
2. THE BLOODHOUND FILES
by DD Barant
by DD Barant
Another one that was just a tad disappointing. Still a great series, but it was like we didn't know for sure what our heroine and heroes would do. It's one of those open-ended kind of things.
3. SOUTHERN VAMPIRE NOVELS*
by Charlaine Harris
by Charlaine Harris
*Going with the original series name vs the one that it becomes known by later
I was just left wondering too much about other characters after this one. Hoping that After Dead satisfies my wonderings!
4. HEREAFTER SERIES
by Tara Hudson
by Tara Hudson
While I knew this kind of ending was likely, I was still saddened to see it come. When one of the main characters is a ghost, you expect it, but I was still sad and it was the series ending and I didn't want to be left sad by the end. That's why I place this one here as well, but it was still an AMAZING read!
5. THE BODY FINDER SERIES
by Kimberly Derting
by Kimberly Derting
Another ending that just left me shocked! Plus I didn't want the series to end! I wanted to know so much more, but sadly it was the end.
That's pretty much the basis for my choosing all these series. They were all incredible, but with a few of them, I just had too many questions remaining that would likely never be answered or with others, I just wanted more! I didn't want to say goodbye, but for all of them, there was always more than one question that I had that just left me wondering in the dark.
Still would recommend reading all these despite their series endings!
BEST
6. HARRY POTTER SERIES
by J.K. Rowling
by J.K. Rowling
Definitely one ending that I truly enjoyed! The epilogue was a nice touch too, I know not many people liked it, but I still enjoyed it.
7. 13 TO LIFE SERIES
by Shannon Delany
by Shannon Delany
Naturally this one is here!
8. THE IRON FEY CHRONICLES
by Julie Kagawa
by Julie Kagawa
I enjoyed this one a LOT! I think of this one as the ending to The Iron Fey Chronicles--believed that was what I recall hearing as the series name years ago. I think some people might not have enjoyed it, but I did! I thought it was a great way to end Meghan and Ash's combined story!
9. THE DEMON TRAPPERS SERIES
by Jana Oliver
by Jana Oliver
Another series I enjoyed and was very happy with the way it ended!
10. SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC SERIES
by Vicki Pettersson
by Vicki Pettersson
Had to find one adult series ending that I liked! This one I really did like how it ended! Thought it was perfect after everything Joanna went through! Now I just need to start Vicki's new series...
