adru's review
Selle looga tipnes mu tydimus ajaviitekirjandusest ja nõutus, et miks see siis viimasel ajal oma tööd ei tee - ma ju tahan ainult kerget meelelahutust, aga kui seda ka ei saa... Mis mõte sellel siis on? Eriti nadi, et varem on see sari mind ikka lõbustanud, aga nyyd oli puhas igavus.

It took me a few days to figure out why the last couple of books did not jive with me. The reason is that they were trying to get serious, while all I expected from them was just idiotic hi-jinks and puns.
If I am expected to laugh at fart jokes then I am incapable of crying at someone's death. If I am expected to chuckle at current events references then I cannot muscle up concern over characters dealing with trauma. This is not to say I cannot laugh through tears, plenty of books have evoked this emotional mix, it is just that the humor has to be a certain type. The humor cannot feel disrespectful to the dead and the dying and those left alive but scarred. If it feels disrespectful then there is a disassociation between what I am supposed to be feeling, and either the joke is too crass to feel amused by it or you have to stop feeling bad about all the drama to laugh at the joke.
Besides that, I think I am becoming allergic to current cultural references. One or two is chuckle worthy, pages and pages of szechuan sauce references between descriptions of celebrities while carefully avoiding naming them is just boring.

Very sad to see this series end - I absolutely loved it. But what an ending it was... epic, and sad... but sweet, all the same. This kind of makes me want to go back and start from the beginning, but I think that would make the recent ending that much more heart breaking.
