Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
2.0
I don't think I hated it as much as most of fandom seems to, but it was still a seriously unsatisfying ending.
It's not even that I have anything against Sam, but it just felt like there was no proper build-up for the final friends/lovers transition, just "Oh the magic changed my priorities and now I want you" on both sides, which... no. Just no.
Added to that are the increasingly flimsy plotlines overcrowded with side characters that had been becoming a problem for the last few books already. It's nice that we got to say goodbye to everyone, but it just felt so cobbled together at times, and the devil, who was actually a pretty interesting idea, just vanished from the story completely at some point.
Ugh I don't know. I'm not as annoyed as others, I don't think I was invested in the series enough anymore to really get worked up over it, but it was just... unsatisfying. On some level I think it's interesting that Harris was trying to do something different than the expected, but it just wasn't executed anywhere near well enough for it to actually work.
