I was glad it finally ended!

This is a LONG movie and it drags at points. The acting leaves a lot to be desired, or maybe it is the characters. The story line has potential but it wasn't achieved in this production.

I bought this as soon as I had finished the second book because I could not wait! Fantastic story with so many ups and downs and twists that I was exhausted reading some parts. All in all a very satisfying ending. Now I feel sort of empty wishing I didn't have to say goodbye!

I know the Artemis Fowl books are for kids - I bought the first one for my son when he was in the fifth grade. He's 18 now and has outgrown the series but, sadly, I never did. I have them all on my Kindle and this, the supposed final installment, is a fitting and exciting end to the Artemis Fowl series. All of the characters were allowed to grow and change, none grew stagnant as so many children's series books allow them to do. Goodbye, Artemis, Butler, Holly, and Foalie - I'll miss you all!

It was one of those books that you hate seeing come to an end.

I almost stopped reading this book a couple of times.  It moved a little slow & I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but I have felt this way before about a book & I finished it & was glad that I did.  The same goes for this book.  The story ended the way that I wanted it to end; so I'm glad that I did read the whole book.

Boy this was a long book! I really enjoyed it but I wish it hadn't drug on so long. I didn't love the ending because it wasn't the ending I had envisioned but it was still a good read and a good end to the series.

CAUTION!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!

Reading this last installment of the Mortal Instruments series was bittersweet. I'm so glad that Sebastian is dead and his death was even bittersweet. I also liked that many of the main characters appear to get a happily ever after. I'm so bummed that the series is over though.

I LOVED the main characters Clary and Jace and Izzy and Simon and Alec and Magnus and I want to know so much more about them, especially Izzy and Simon and Alex and Magnus. I became so invested in the characters and what happened to them.

I know that the author felt good about ending the series at this point but she could have really gone on a little longer. Like what happened to Jace and Clary? Did they go live in Idiris and Herondale Manor? Did Simon get all of his memories back? Did he become a Shadowhunter? Sooo much more to know about Alec and Magnus.

I want more Mortal Instruments and Shadowhunter/Downworlder books. My favorite series (Sookie Stackhouse series) went on for around a dozen books. This series could have gone on for a few more books. SERIOUSLY!!!

Such an enjoyable series, and the last season ties it all up very nicely, I'm just sorry it had to end :(

I am very sad that the story is over, but The Deadly Hallows was a nice way to end it.  It was a totally different book than the rest, which was also a nice surprise.  I can't wait to read the series again!

I am incredibly sad to see this series come to an end but I know that seven books is not a bad stretch and it was time. I think that Jeaniene Frost did a good job bringing it home but I feel like maybe there might have been some way to end it with more of a finality  because I feel like there should be another book with this ending... hoping that this was done with the purpose of future spin offs and such so I  did not dock the stars in regards. For everyone that is griping about the level of kinkiness in this one I have to say that yes, this was a core part of the series, but with a final book I think people should realize that an author has to focus on bringing everything together and to a close not on the filler, unless they are just throwing it together, be thankful that she loved these characters enough to do them justice in this last book. Thank you Jeaniene, I appreciate the world that you wove together here it has given me many nights of entertainment.

My journey with this series has finally come to an end! Everything about this finale was wonderful. It wrapped up a lot of the loose ends and plot threads created throughout the other four books in a way that was ultimately satisfying. Two of the best things about this series were the characters and the world. Each book brought a new level to how big this world actually is which was wonderful. With some books it feels like you never fully get to see the entirety of the world that was created. That is not the case with this. Also the characters were executed flawlessly. They each had their own trials and tribulations to surpass which ultimately brought them all back together in the end. Action was still top notch. Every scene is so descriptive and engaging. Even the scenes involving the cutters (you know what I am talking about if you read this) are so vivid, sometimes to the point where I cringe. I am so happy that I discovered this series and also this author because he quickly rose to be one of my all time favorites and I will continue to purchase his books as they come out. Highly Highly recommend this series to anyone looking for flintlock fantasy. It is a bit of a chore to get past the military jargon but once you do this world will take you by storm!

For a series I started reading simply because the first novel was FREE on Kindle, I am now very sad to have finished the final installment in this GREAT series.  Mr. Brown wrapped up all of the stories mostly neatly, with just a few minor threads left dangling.  I agree with another review that Thalia seemed to have made real connections with former rival Kayla and with Cricket, but their exits from the story are total side-notes.

I definitely enjoyed this book more than the previous two, I think because there was a sense of finality here.  However, like the last two books, there some parts that felt rushed.  It felt like the entire thread with the army formerly lead by Suzi just kind of ended and didn't anywhere, when it had a very interesting start to this book.  It was very odd of the author to have left such a major development just dangling out there...then again, I've said it in my reviews before: this is the zombie apocalypse, so not everything will be wrapped up with a nice bow on it!  I would have gone a 5th star easily if we'd had more to this tale.

While the "main" character storylines of Thalia and Catie were a little on the sappy side, I really enjoyed how the Vignettes all wrapped up; even though one of them ends in a similar way, that character deserved it!  It was heart-breaking to lose one of my favorites, it was in classic TW Brown style, so I still enjoyed it immensely.  I'll deal with that last statement in time...

I haven't read the Snapshots yet, but definitely will.  Until then, to Mr. Brown: the Dead series has been one of the greatest series I've read in my life, and it's been great fun seeing you grow as a writer.  Keep up the great work, sir, and I'm glad you are finally living the dream:)

The long awaited conclusion of this fantastic series is here, and I'm only sorry it came to an end!!!
Billie, Jasmin and Vicky finally find redemption! Their journey to get there was angsty, poignant and full of humorous surprises!
I fell in love with these three best friends, as their characters were so well developed, and they jumped out of the pages and hung out in my house.
Each one took a different path to get where they needed to be, and do what they had to do to find themselves, love and happiness. The results were funny kinky sexy, and sometimes totally out of character for them.
Tree houses, stalking in the bushes and attics antic have taken a whole new meaning in the romance department after reading this story.
Nonetheless, these women held their friendship dearly and proved that "you can have your cake and eat it to."
How they found their way made this a worthwhile read.
The end result you'll have to read and find out!!
There were portions of their journey that felt rushed. BUT, I wouldn't miss reading this beauty'
4.5 stars.

I struggled throughout most of this book.  I didn't like the way things were headed and, in my mind, I felt like it would have been a reach for me to give it 3 stars.  That being said, I liked the last part so much, it brought my rating up to 5 stars.  The book still didn't end the way I'd hoped, but the author so skillfully wrote the final three chapters, that I was convinced that was the only way for the series to end.  Bravo, Ms. Collins.

While I'm glad its over, I'm gonna miss the adventures of the combined cast of characters. Book 17 appeared to be written in a hurry just so the author could finish it off. While reading it through, I picked up on other titles from past books in the series. There were also numerous typos and miss-spelled names. Overall, I think Morgan Rice ended the more villainous characters in an appropriate manner! Example being, Volusia's life ended by a "common warrior", after she thought she was invincible. Andronicus being re-incarnated in the "Blood Lord" and being defeated by Thorgrin in the final battle. When Thorgrin  had to go to "The Sorcerers Ring", I would have thought he would have had a much more difficult test other than himself. I kept looking for it and it didn't happen. After all he went through in each book, there should have been more of a test to prove himself worthy to wear the ring. As to the ending, I would have liked to have attended the wedding at the end!! Over-all I liked the series. As soon as I finished one book, I immediately ordered the next one in the series. I'm also looking forward to the Sorcerers Son when the author decides to begin writing it. Which I hope is within the next few years. Also for the readers of this article, I'd like you all to know that I am a senior citizen,(over 60), who adamantly enjoys this type of literature. Growing up as a child, we never had this style of writing. I greatly enjoy any type of book written in this genre. As long as the reader can differentiate between fantasy and fact, he or she will enjoy the pictures their mind can paint while reading this series. I highly recommend this author to any reader with a perchance to dream and believe in the fantasy world. In closing, I eagerly await with anticipation for the publication of, "RISE OF THE DRAGONS".

A beautiful ending to a rich, emotional, turbulent, exhilarating, thought-provoking trilogy.  As sad as I am to complete these wonderful characters' story, I'm glad that their tumultuous journey has come to a satisfying close.  I took my time reading this one so that it wouldn't be over quite so quickly!  I look forward to seeing which other characters EH chooses to write about in the future.  One of the best series I've ever read!
