Done with the series and personally, I wasnt very impressed with the finale. The concept and illustrations were great but I lost interest towards the end of the series due to reasons mentioned in the Spoilers section below.

<<Spoilers Ahead!!!>>



I think I started to lose interest in the overall series once the original 'L' dies. The ending felt rushed and I could see the madness setting in Light/Kira, but somehow the last scene didnt seem justified enough for his intelligence. I didnt expect him to go like that. I was annoyed with the sexism in the series from the start and that lessened my love for the overall concept.  I also felt like some of the side characters were just swept under the carpet after the first few books in the series.
