*brings conversation back on topic unaffectively* Great ending. Can't think of anything else to say.

Just the ones I like though, I'm a bit preferential.

No no no. I don't judge them by if they're new or not. I judge them by who they are.

Excuse my cliche statement. But it's true. I believe.

Well it is their personality on the net. It's not like I'm gonna meet them in real life, or compare their two alter egos.

I hated how the ending made me feel. But, I don't think the ending could have been any better. In fact, in the end I kind of liked that the ending wasn't a generic "everyone lives happily ever after" one. It was very realistic (as far as a world filled with magicians and spirits go). Definitely pulled the heartstrings. When I look back at it now, no other ending would've been as satisfactory. F for me.

While I hardly liked it (now as I just finished or any other time before) it did have a certain satisfaction. The only problem is that an ending like that means that there is no major impetus to continue the series, a major problem imo.

Personally, I think that's why the author wrote it that way. So that no one would want to continue the series.

The good thing about the ending is that it provided a great sense of closure.

The bad thing about the ending is that it provided a great sense of closure.

E. g. it was an awesome ending, but NO MORE BARTIMAEUS!!!
