The ending... I understand what the author was going for in giving a happy ending and making it meta, but I do wish it ended differently. I almost wish it stopped after part 1 and then we follow a different character. Or just having it be the end. But I think Darren Shan wrote himself into a corner and had to do the best he could. That being said, the parallel between the start and end of this series was actually pretty well thought out.

I started these books when I was like 12, and now after a decade, I'm finished. Goodbye Darren Shan!

Still makes me cry as much as it did when I read it as a child.

Since I went into the series knowing how it would end, I expected to be SUPER disappointed with this book but I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I definitely think the last trilogy had a lot of weak points - especially after books 7-9 - but it was an interesting way to wrap things up, at least.
