I'm not so satisfied with the ending and it's too open... And a little dissapointing tbh. All Darrens work all his adventures FOR NOTHING? For his deeds to be replaced by some other random kid... While we don't even know what exactly happened to that kid.
I'm still having the 'so what happened now' moment right now. Darrens adventures were amazing and I loved every moment of it. The ending was not as I expected and it was definitely one that fucked with my mind.
My biggest wish would have been a reunion with Mr. Crepsley and very briefly it's mentioned but I wanted more! (I loved him his death wrecked me)
I must admit it was a big plottwist I had not seen that coming but after Leonard and Darren fighting it honestly went downhill. Like okay I could have accepted Darren changing the past in a way but not for him to have never made all his friends and stuff??
I see that after what Darren did this outcome was probably like the only one
I can't believe the last book could be so... changing? It just made all the rest feel so surreal. I loved the series but the ending not so much. In a way it does satisfy me though, it makes the world we live in now what really happened so we actually (sort of) know the outcome.
So why still 3 stars? I loved Darren Shan and I still think it's clever how the author made it all fit into eachother from the beginning until the end. In a way I can accept the ending if I ignore some factors (none of Darrens adventures happening being the biggest one) but still it's a hard pill to swallow.
I won't say I'm 100% satisfied but I have very mixed feelings about it.

I started reading this when I was in 7th grade and when I got to the 9th book I stopped. I decided now that I’m older I would read it all the way through and although I would wish for a happier ending I am at peace with it. It was one of the best book series I’ve read and I will defiantly recommend it to anyone who wants a good hearted book that gets to your emotions.
I loved this book, and I can't look at the word Destiny the same again. Although I would love to know what happens to the other characters - especially Harkat...
I'm so sad. 12 amazing books and now it's finally over. I loved, but I also hated the ending. It wasn't fair, but overall I liked how it ended. I already miss reading these books and I am so sad that they are over.
Thank you Darren Shan for writing these amazing books! <3

Completely mindblown by this! So many plot twists, so much information. Seriously one of the best and least expected endings to an incredible series!!

It's funny..before this saga I read the book thief, which beautifully portrayed the power of words and friendship, and in the end, this saga showed the same,and in that way made it perfect. I'm still a bit shaken, but I'll never forget these books and what they mean to me, I loved the characters deeply and will miss them just as much. There's a place in my heart called Cirque Du Freak.
