Imagine my surprise when I finished Volume 10 and discovered that it is NOT the end of the series AND there is no expected release of the next part of the series!!
That being said, I enjoyed Morning Glories as a whole, though I still have so many questions. I feel like I never really know what's going on, but the story is still pretty compelling. I've gotten attached to a few of the characters, and I really want to know what's happened/happening/going to them (I can never quite figure out the timeline). One of the things I like (and sometimes hate) is that the timeline is very clearly not linear. Which is really cool... but also really confusing. I've seen a lot of reviewers compare this series to Lost, and I totally see what they mean. Lots of characters, bizarre timeline, who even knows what's happening most of the time... definitely makes sense.
I don't really know if I can recommend this series based on the fact that it's not complete and there's no end in sight, but I've also really enjoyed it overall, though it felt a little slow in the middle for a bit, and I think if you read the description of the first volume and it appeals to you, you should definitely get it a shot. Just be warned that there is no clear resolution to the story because there are additional issues planned, but there's also no publication date in sight.

Although I did enjoy the series, I'm rating it low because I don't know that I'd read it all over again if it were ever finished. It's way too confusing to not have to read it all over again.

A lot happened. And absolutely nothing happened. It looks cool at the time and then it just shifts away. And then it circles back in on itself but not in a way that means anything. Don't read.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Maybe it's because I've been reading each volume so far apart, but I'm starting to feel like there's no payoff for all the intrigue and twists the writer is taking us through. There was a big "reveal" in this volume, but I don't feel like I understand anything better or really have any idea where the series is headed, and I feel like I should have SOME idea by the tenth volume.

A decent conclusion but it was painfully obvious that the series was meant to continue. I felt like I had a good grasp of the story at this point and was starting to get invested in the characters again.
If the series ever continues I hope they give a little bit more exposition of the big plot and reduce the number of characters. I would much rather have twice as much Casey and remove half of the other characters.

I still love the series but the more questions than answers motive is starting to get a little old. I can't accept a certain amount of characters saying, "I'm sorry, I can't answer a normal question with an actual answer" but it is starting to clearly be a delay tactic for Spencer to figure out where he is going with this. You have to start making some of this make sense man or some of us are going to have to give up.

A lot of exciting stuff happens at the end. Before that, there are other things.

Having seen what I thought was an end date, I thought that this was the end. Grrrrrr.
HIATUS is such an ugly word.

I still don't understand what's going on in this series. Someone needs to explain it to me please.
