I think I read the books too quickly because if you read them back to back, it all seems the same. I wish they would have said what happens with Mia and Ethan.

OH MY GODDD!! Christian Grey, you are such a softie. everything about them being a married couple is exactly what I wanted… their universes really do begin & end with each other, just wish we got to see them more as parents!!
I LOVED this series sooo much, thank you E.L for gracing us with this amazing series of books ❤️

The only good thing about this book came at the very end when the author did the story from Christian's pov.
My first reaction was: SHE DIDN'T GIVE US THE WEDDING. Which was remedied. Next thought: is this the same series? It's so fucking tame. And then it happened. The disinterest. The sex scenes dragged on...and on...and on...and kept happening. Like every five pages. And I was bored. Bored as hell. I wanted to seriously skip the sex scenes.
Then suddenly: PLOT. Like yeesh she like slapped us with plot. I was moderately intrigued but overall just wishing it was over. It took me like four days to read this book. And that's a lot for me. My friend accused me of quitting but I just wasn't really feeling it. I read a lot today (like half the book) because it had picked up enough. But...idk it just wasn't that good.
I think my biggest complaint about plot was: why did it all have to be connected? Why did everything need to be placed in this weird plot web? I would have been satisfied with: THIS GUY BAD BUT IT'S OK NOW BUT THIS BAD THING HAPPEN BUT IT'S OK NOW. Not: this guy is bad and does a bunch of bad things that aren't connected to the first book really but are super connected the plot of the third book. And we solved it but is it over? Who duuuuuuniiiiit? Oh wait it was obvious? Well that's ok I'm going to foreshadow that there is some kind of twist the whole book. *throws in random plots to make tension and terror worse* Quick make her pregnant to create even more tension. Ok so that bad guy got out. And more bad stuff happened. Oh and he's connected to all sorts of random things that seem pretty random. Oh it's ok now? And then everyone was happy. It just felt...cheap? I know it's supposed to be. I know I know. I'm chanting that like a mantra right now. But why is this the series that hit? Jesus.
And then I hit the end and was like oh, it's over. Turned over and said, hey husband, I just finished it. Flipped to the next page. Oh an epilogue. Oh wait, not really an epilogue as much as just a smattering of short random stories throughout the series. He looks over at me and says, "so oneshots?" I. Fucking. Lost. My. Shit. It was. They were fucking oneshots. She wrote this fanfiction and turned it into some over hyped huge selling story and then had the GALL to include her oneshots?!?! OH MY FUCKING GOD. Yes, CLEARLY this wasn't fanfiction. CLEARLY. Christ! Anyone who reads or writes fanfiction would see this as OBVIOUS. And once I knew, I couldn't let it go. I was like oh, this oneshot has the kinky sex scene people would as for. Oh this one is through his perspective. Oh this oneshot jumps in time. Hmmm. Must be a new chapter. I know most people don't know this but it just made me shutter.
Overall: cringe. I think that is the word I would use to define this experience. I could overlook some things while others just bugged the shit out of me. I had no idea how much horrific abuse happened within the series. I honestly don't even want to rate the books or my experience because it happened and I'm ready to move on. Would I read it again? Probably not. I'll hang onto the books just in case (because they were a bitch to track down) and I can see myself forgetting the story and getting the bug to read it again in a few years. For now, I'm done. I'm glad the books are done and I do not foresee myself reading more works from E L James.
