Top Ten Tuesday #13: Best/Worst Series Enders
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly Top Ten list hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week is all about series and how they end. Sometimes you just want to scream because it didn't end the way you wanted and sometimes you get that perfect ending that you really wanted for the character/s. This week we're counting down the best and the books series enders!
In no particular order:
1. Endgame (Sirantha Jax 6) by Ann Aguirre - This series doesn't have you typical HEA and at first that pissed me off. Then I realized how very fitting the actual end is to the series and how they work it out best they can and not losing themselves in the process.
2. Found (The Crescent Cronichles 3) by Alyssa Rose Ivy - This series just got better and better and Found was the perfect conclusion.
3. The Iron Knight (The Iron Fey 4) by Julie Kagawa - I loved how we got to read this book from Ash's perspective and the enormous sacrifices he made to be with Meghan.
4. Scandal (The Ivy 4) by Lauren Kunze and Rina Onur - There's a hole lot going on and a bunch of loose ends to tie up for this series to have a good ending, Scandal has it all.
5. Tap & Gown (Secret Society Girl 4) by Diana Peterfreund - The mysteries are at their peak in this intriguing conclusion.
6. Love Unrehearsed (Love 2) by Tina Reber - I read this one almost a year ago and I can still remember the last few pages so very vividly. It had the perfect ending for Ryan and Taryn.
7. Reckless (Thoughtless 3) by S.C. Stephens - I though this was a very suitable ending to Kiera and Kellan's roller coaster of a relationship.
8. Alpha (Shifters 6) by Rachel Vincent - Ooooh, I love this one! There is one part that I'm not the biggest fan of but I LOVE IT!
9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter 7) by J.K. Rowling - Need I say anything?
10. Mockingjay (The Hunger Games 3) by Suzanne Collins - I'm sorry, but she chose the wrong guy!
Yup.. Katniss chose the wrong guy.
ReplyDeleteDeathly Hallows also made my list, although I didn't like the epilogue. Mockingjay did as well, but I put it somewhere inbetween best and worst. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm not alone in this :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a fitting end but my younger self was not acquainted with epilogues back then and it took forever to figure out we jumped 30 years into the future. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're the first person besides Jeyna ^ who I've ever heard say Katniss chose the wrong guy! Why!?
ReplyDeleteIn short, because Peeta's meek and Gale's badass!
ReplyDeletelol so many people put the mockingjay as their worst, even me. For such a great series, it was a disappointing end :/
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Except for the deathly hollows and mockingjay, I haven't read the others. Mockingjay made my best list, :D, to each his own I guess.
ReplyDeleteMy Best & Worst
Good list! I never heard about Scandal before so I am adding it to my TBR asap :D
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I know, I was kinda pissed when it ended and like "is this it?".
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't the ending I expected (not necessarily a bad thing) and certainly not the ending I wanted. I just can't be happy with it :( It's a good book, but not a good end to the series.
ReplyDeleteIt' sooo good! Both The Ivy series (Scandal) and Secret Society Girl series (Tap & Gown) share similar themes, if you like one you should like the other just as much :)
