Excellent ending to the Plague Tales trilogy

Excellent boo, as always, from Ann Benson.  The end of the Plague Tales Trilogy.  Must read.

Thankfully we pick up literally right where the events in "Hunted" left off. There isn't much that I can say about the story that wouldn't be a serious spoiler, so I will stick with my thoughts on the final book in this trilogy.

All of the mysteries surrounding Megan's allegiance are resolved, and finally we all learn about the entirety of Amelia's past and the role that she, and Mitchell, play in present day events.

The resolution is a relief after being kept in the dark through the other two books, and certain suspicions I had developed were confirmed. Thankfully that is not to say the ending is spelled out in advance. And days later I am still trying to decide how I feel about the final twist at the end, though I will admit that in many ways it fits the involved characters to a T. I just wish that a particular character would have grown more than they did, yet I can see the author choosing the route she did, as it leaves a foot in the door should she want to come back and tell more of the story of the residents of Willowberg.

This final book in the mortal instruments series does an excellent job of tying up all loose ends. I was greatly impressed and pleased with the way each character was brought to a close.

This was an excellent trilogy with a strong and satisfying conclusion. June and Day remained powerful characters throughout the series, characters that I cared for and rooted for. The other characters in the series were also well developed and important for the story. I enjoyed the relationship that the main characters have with each other and with the other characters in the story. I think Lu accurately portrayed how complicated relationships can become over time, when people change and their roles in each others lives change. Very interesting elements in the futuristic aspects of technology and government. I want to know more about the scoring system in Antarctica! Thank you Lu for a meaningful and satisfying ending, after being disappointed by the Divergent ending, I was worried that this book would end in a meaningless and depressing way. It did not! Spoilers:  There were wonderful lessons of self-sacrifice and the ten years later chapter quickly told how June had moved on before finally being able to come back together with Day. I really enjoyed this book and the series.

I've followed Odd Thomas in all of his adventures. My favorites are the first book, Brother Odd, Odd Interlude, and Deeply Odd. This one wraps up the series nicely and runs you through plenty of emotions as you follow the characters to the end. No spoilers, but I was pleasantly surprised with the last Chapter and I couldn't have been more pleased with this last book.  Thank you Dean Koontz!

This last volume in the Bookworm saga very nicely brought the story to a satisfying conclusion.  It would have been easy to stretch the story out into two books but the author didn't - kudos to him (take that George Martin).  The ending had a nice twist to it that really helped bring the tale to a fulfilling ending.  Read! Enjoy!

Loved, loved, loved the trilogy! Excellent writing, composed and concise storytelling, awesome character development throughout the three books. I especially enjoyed the final chapter where our heroes use their gifts to bring others into the light and discover the truth of their existence.

Excellent wrap up to the Witcher saga. I was introduced to these books because of the games. Reading the books made the games much more enjoyable. I loved every minute in these stories and was sad when it came to an end.

This book was the final in the "Mer Tales" series and by far the best, in my opinion. I loved the way the story throughout the series all came together and ended in a way that I am very happy with. From start to finish I was completely hooked and was unable to put this book down. I am so glad I took a chance on this series and definitely recommend it. :)

I loved this end to Ready, Willing, And Able this author knows how to tie together great books!  These three go together seamlessly.  A great end to the series.

As the title says, this conclusion to the "The Spiderwick Chronicles" is easily the best of the five books.  There is more action, more conflict, more emotion, and more wit in this one then in the other four.  The tale of the Grace children comes to a close as they find themselves at the dump (AKA Mulgarath's palace) in hopes to save their mother.

As I hate people who put important plot points in their reviews and spoil the reading for others, I'll simply say that the action is top notch, but the climax ends a bit too swiftly, and the epilogue is touching, a bit sad, and quite uplifting.  Another good note is that all of our favorite faeries from the previous four books make their final appearance in this one.

8/10

This is an excellent finish to a really entertaining trilogy.  Fans of fantasty fiction who have no prior exposure to the Dragonlance world can still enjoy these books (the first two are The Messenger and The Golden Orb).
This book basically ends to tale of the characters introduced at the beginning of the trilogy.  There are plenty of epic battles, narrow escapes, and character development.  A couple of nagging questions (e.g. is Coraltop the kender real?) that are finally answered.
The only qualm I have with this book is that the ending seems a bit rushed and a little too convenient.  But it is not at all unbelievable, and the epilogue is very nice.
Overall, a very good novel, but when taken in conjunction with the other parts of the trilogy, it is really excellent.

I found this trilogy quite enjoyable. It is very well written, with an engrossing plot and good character development. The vampire theme is very traditional.  This final installment followed the previous two books very close.  It was a nice ending, but still unfortunate that it had to end at all.

An amazing conclusion to an incredible trilogy. The end of the book was bittersweet. I was so depressed that it was over that I had to read all three again. I wanted more-- I still do. It was sad, stressful, exciting, terrifying, tragic, and heartwarming all at the same time. It is rare to find a book that can both break my heart and make me laugh. Overall I was pretty satisfied with the ending, despite feeling miserable that there was nothing left for me to read about Ruby, Liam, Chubs, Zu, Vida etc. However, Alexandra Bracken gracefully brought the story to a close without any loose ends or unanswered questions. While there's no doubt I would read another 10 books about these characters, Bracken did an excellent job telling the story in just three.

I would highly recommend reading this book.

The third book followed the first 2 faithfully. People died you had wanted to live and people did the worst to human kind, worse than the virus. This was an excellent series, I'm not glad it's over but am completely satisfied with the end.

C. J. Abedis The Queen is an amazing finish to the Fae Series.

The story starts out with a diary entry about the Lost Colony in 1590.  It then transitions, to modern times where Devilyn and Caroline are at a school Halloween party, and Caroline is kidnaped.  I found their costumes amusing.  Devilyn struggles throughout the story, feeling that their relationship puts her in danger.

Caroline has grown tremendously throughout this trilogy.  She comes into her powers and is continually challenged by the dark Fae.  She is intelligent and brave.  Devilyn is dealing with the responsibilities of being King.  He feels like his dark side is consuming his light.  He blames himself for putting Caroline in danger.  He loves Caroline and would give her up if it meant she was safe.

Caroline, Devilyn, and their friends/family are put through numerous challenges.  The dark Fae are no longer following their laws.  Alderon continues to be a lethal opponent. Some interesting things happen with him, especially toward the end of the story.  Puck lives up to his mischievous reputation and is a dangerous foe.

I like how the story flashes back to 1590-01 and the diaries of Captain John White and Eleanor Dare about the Lost Colony.  I also, like that the story is told from both Devilyns and Carolines point of view.

C. J. Abedis The Queen is well-written and has a wonderful plot.  The story is full of excitement and twists.  I would love to see this trilogy turned into a movie or television series.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Robin Hobb is an enormously under-rated writer and I am a huge fan.  This last book very nicely brought a finish to the 6 Farseer novels and as ever with Robin Hobb I found myself resenting the interuptions of real life to my enjoyment of her World.

I highly recommend all 6 in this series, plus the adjacent and related Rain Wild River series.
