super strong & funny beginning, ending didn't hold up/match the energy of the rest of the book

I am so upset. This has a Queen of Air and Darkness level bad ending. I hate when authors can't commit to a MCD. There was a clear ending, then Mags had to undo Gansey's death??? I love my tennis dad, but Gansey needed to die. The series is so cyclical, it only makes sense for it to end as it began. The epilogue was.. unnecessary. Adam's confrontation with his dad should have either not happened or happened sooner. It lacked the emotional strength and finality that an epilogue requires. I would have made Gansey's death the last chapter and Noah's chapter the epilogue. The whole book was wishy-washy. I LOVE a new plot device character every book (Neeve, Kavinsky, Greenmantle, Henry).
