Definitely not the ending I was expecting, and I thought there'd be more of the After on Earth, but apparently not. It made sense and held together well, though.
I've been reading this series since the beginning, and it's always a unique experience when something you've grown up with ends.
Lord Sunday didn't have the ending I expected, and I'm glad for that. Fans of the series will be happy.

A fun series but a kind of rushed end that was quite neat and tidy but not completely satisfying either. That said, a very fun journey with a great cast of characters

And... done!
I imagine it must be awful for the author to choose an ending for something this [excuse the word choice] epic -- have the main character do one thing, fan backlash. Have him do something else, it wouldn't feel honest. It's not often that there's what feels like a compromise ending, and I can't decide how I feel about it. [I'd know immediately if I knew how Nix arrived at it -- did he have the ending in mind the entire time he was writing, or did he have to make the choice himself at the end?]
Without delving too deep into all of that, this was the book that really drove home the religious aspects to the series. The creator was more human than I expected, and honestly I hated the bit about how humans came to being because god needed something to keep a closer eye on the rest of his creation (very Biblical there), though it was more of him expressly stating it than just showing that's how he felt (which he did throughout the books).
All in all, a worthy series to read, and a strong conclusion. Still not quite sure about that ending, but...

One of the most unique YA fantasy endings I've read. I was not expecting what happened!
