That ending made it all worth it, lol. I had the same problem with this one that I had with the second one. It was a little slow at times, but at least with "End of Days" when there was action it was really exciting. I will say although I liked the ending, it did kind of seem out of place. I'm not sure how best to describe it, because it wasn't rushed, and it didn't come out of nowhere, it just seemed out of place. Other than that, it was a really good fast read
