thatbookhoarder 's review for:

Sons of Destiny by Darren Shan
3.0

I'm not so satisfied with the ending and it's too open... And a little dissapointing tbh. All Darrens work all his adventures FOR NOTHING? For his deeds to be replaced by some other random kid... While we don't even know what exactly happened to that kid.

I'm still having the 'so what happened now' moment right now. Darrens adventures were amazing and I loved every moment of it. The ending was not as I expected and it was definitely one that fucked with my mind.

My biggest wish would have been a reunion with Mr. Crepsley and very briefly it's mentioned but I wanted more! (I loved him his death wrecked me)

I must admit it was a big plottwist I had not seen that coming but after Leonard and Darren fighting it honestly went downhill. Like okay I could have accepted Darren changing the past in a way but not for him to have never made all his friends and stuff??

I see that after what Darren did this outcome was probably like the only one

I can't believe the last book could be so... changing? It just made all the rest feel so surreal. I loved the series but the ending not so much. In a way it does satisfy me though, it makes the world we live in now what really happened so we actually (sort of) know the outcome.

So why still 3 stars? I loved Darren Shan and I still think it's clever how the author made it all fit into eachother from the beginning until the end. In a way I can accept the ending if I ignore some factors (none of Darrens adventures happening being the biggest one) but still it's a hard pill to swallow.

I won't say I'm 100% satisfied but I have very mixed feelings about it.
