It was a frustrating ending to the series.  

<Spoiler>I absolutely believe Pilcher would rather burn everything down than admit that he hadn't accounted for everything and now everyone will starve.  

I didn't really buy that Ethan would necessarily chose his wife over Kate.  We just don't see enough of them together having a meaningful connection.  Similarly, I don't really buy that Kate would necessary choose her husband over Adam, although there I guess we see a lot of what Adam feels for her and not as much about what she feels for him, so maybe that's a little more believable.  

The ambiguous ending was frustrating.  There's no reason to believe the Earth will be more hospitable (or even at all still hospitable) to modern human life in 70,000 years.   And were they set to wake up at a certain time?  We really have no reason at all to believe they'd be in a better position when they wake up.

It’s rare for me to rate every book in a series a five, but I loved every book in the series that much.
