A very satisfying conclusion to an incredible fantasy series. I won't give the ending away, but I do want to mention that while some may view it as cliche', it's really the ONLY way the story could have possibly ended. So, in that way, it's perfect.

I say that because when I first finished it, it was a straight-shot seven-book marathon during which I became so thoroughly engrossed in the world of the novels I literally did not want it to end. So when it did, I was naturally let down as anyone would be who abruptly ends up back in dreary old reality after being immersed in fantasy. I blamed it on the ending.

But, looking back a short time later, after having time to digest the whole story arc, I realized that the ending is perfect and the series is awesome.
