Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish, and for this weeks TTT here is my list of Best/Worst Series Enders .
Best
#1 - Flowers in the Attic by V. C. Andrews
Even though the end of this series was a little sad. After reading about Cathy's long journey I thought it was very fitting.
The thing I cared about most in this series was the unique love triangle. Even thought so,me one has to be left out Cassandra Clare found a way to make this story perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.
Everything about this book was awesome! I laughed. I cried. I was mesmerized and I was shocked. Just thinking about it makes me want to read the series all over again (for the 4th time).
This was actually my favorite book in the series and I loved that it was written in Ash's POV.
I was so happy with the ending of this book and was left absolutely wanting more of Elder and Amy.
Worst
#6 - Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick
This book did not hold the magic that I felt at the beginning for Patch and Nora's story. I just didn't see that awesome character Patch was in Hush Hush and I found the story to drag.
I was really disappointed with the ending to this terrific series. I felt like I never got any real closure to the story and I was left with a few questions that remained unanswered.
#8 - Specials by Scott Westerfeld
I loved reading this series but was disappointed with the ending. I just didn't like the way things ended.
Thanks Patty, I really need an editor sometimes for my overactive spellcheck lol. Book characters have such interesting names now! Thanks for visiting Patty :D
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Shades of Earth! That whole series was just so amazing.
ReplyDeleteTTT @ Krista's Dust Jacket
Me too Krista. I wish one day Beth will write about what happened after Shades of Earth. Maybe something about the next generation. Aw a girl can dream right :-) .
DeleteWOW was I the only person that thought the last Harry Potter book sucked? Nice list
ReplyDeletehere is my ttt

I can totally see some people not digging the main characters dying but I see it as war is war and just because someone's the favourite doesn't mean that their going to live. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for stopping by.
DeleteI'm seeing Requiem on so many lists o.O Makes me even more reluctant to start the series...
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Finale because I'm afraid of pretty much what you described. I really liked Hush Hush, didn't care for Crescendo, thought Silence was somewhat better, and was hoping it was end with a bang. I will pick up Finale at some point, but it can wait.
I also loved the Ash POV in Iron Knight :) And I agree, the love triangle in The Infernal Devices just works! I feel a bit torn about the epilogue though, it was so neat. But the characters deserved their ending.
My TTT
Just because I didn't like the ending of Requiem doesn't mean I didn't still enjoy it. I just wish it ended a bit more cleanly. Thanks so much for stopping by Carmen :-)
DeleteI've seen Specials on a few lists now...makes me hesitant to read that series. The problem with Requiem is Delirium started out so strong and each book after just got weaker :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I loved the Uglies and I guess I just say a different outcome for the series then what actually happened. Thanks for your comment Em :D
DeleteI haven't read Lauren Oliver's series and I don't think that I will. I don't think I have seen Requiem on a single 'best' list.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!!
I did actually see it on a couple Sara. I think it all depends on how finale you like your ending to be. I thought the book should have been a few chapters longer.
DeleteI desperately need to read SHADES OF EARTH. I've had it way too long without reading.
ReplyDeleteBest book in the series Becky, you'll love it.
DeleteClockwork Princess, The Iron Knight, Harry Potter and Requiem made my list too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My Top 10 Tuesday
I didn't mind Specials so much...but I never had a burning desire to read Extras - that random companion/spin off story that come afterwards. I also really need to find time to read Shades of Earth and see how Revis wrapped everything up.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT is here.
Just like a said to Becky above you'll love it. I thought it was a great way to end the series.
DeleteI need to read the ending of Across the Universe, is quite sad that I had this book since it came out and I haven't finished the series :( We do have a few in common and I haven't read others yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Thanks for leaving a comment Elizabeth :-)
