I have to admit, at the start of the series I didn’t totally get why this series had such a cult following. I mean, I loved the modern quest structure and the humour but I thought maybe I was just too old to truly “get” it. Boy was I wrong. That ending? What a killer way to slowly evolve with your audience and build to a conclusion over the course of five books.
