Seriously, I've slogged through TWELVE books of this series. THIS BOOK DOES NOT leave you satisfied with the ending Any ending of your own invention is bound to be more satisfying and meaningful than this.thing. I completely, 100% recommend this series to everyone. I truly hope there would be a sequel series showing the fate of the vampires and vampaneze and Evanna and the consequences of Darren's actions. It showed rejection of predetermination, and I did love that. I wouldn't give it a full five stars maybe 3.5 or 4, because some parts were just too cliche and not as well-written as some of the other books, but.it brought a form of closure. This is the best thing I could have hoped for, and the book didn't disappoint.
I'm definitely someone who prefers happy endings, but endings are never happy when most of the characters you love are dead by the end of the series. The ending was by no means the best ever, but it was satisfying enough.
Let's pretend the last few chapters never happened, shall we? This series has been the inspiration of dozens of daydreams and doodles and excitement and addiction. It isn't just a name change a completely different person goes through the same actions and everything results either in a different way or the exact same way.ĭarren's sacrifice becomes nullified. So, SOMEONE ELSE becomes a young half-vampire and engages the War of Scars and goes through completely different character developments. He invalidated every action, every word, every thing by making NONE OF IT HAPPEN. Even if either Darren or Steve had died and the other became the Lord of the Shadows, it would have been something.īut Darren Shan literally gave us nothing. It would have made everything worth it- all the deaths, the development, the twists, the heartache. I mean, an expression of free will would have been a fantastic ending. At least, greater than how it actually turned out. TINY'S MY DAD AND HE SET THIS WHOLE THING UP?" AND THEN IT WAS "Fuck that. I have to kill my former best friend Steve, the Lord of the Vampaneze because of Destiny and fate and blah, blah.WHAT. (Except Debbie.)" which turned to "I'm one of the hunters. I have duties and responsibilities to the clan first and foremost. I refuse to believe I went through 11 entire books to find out IT WAS ALL A DREAM.įirst, where the hell did ALL of that character development go?! Darren started with "I'm never drinking blood! I'm still partly human!" to the realization of "I'm a vampire." and then "I'm a vampire Prince.
