\"\"<\/a>Wow. I totally wasn’t expecting THAT.<\/p>\n

This is the last book in the series.<\/p>\n

I also had problems with the book, few of which had to do with the actual ending of the series.<\/p>\n

Although I gobbled down earlier books in the series, I had a hard time getting into this one–the story felt like it was meandering, and didn’t seem to have the pieces that I enjoyed so much in the earlier books.<\/p>\n

In a way, it felt like he had a LOT of things he needed to work in, but wasn’t ever quite sure about the best way to do so. The addition of his family members felt almost arbitrary–I didn’t remember anything about them from earlier books, but suddenly they’re all here and I wasn’t even sure why until the story reached the point they were needed.<\/p>\n

I also felt as if several of the important characters received short shrift–especially Leo’s family. <\/p>\n

I do like that he had the balls to actually conclusively end the series, but, I can’t say I was satisfied with this final book.
