TGIF: Best Series Finale

I know I haven't participated in this before, but when Ginger from GReads! posted the question on twitter yesterday, I knew I had to jump on it. TGIF is just a weekly question Ginger gives to see people's answers and celebrate the fact that it is Friday!

So this week's question: Which book, from any series, has been your favorite ending? What about your least favorite ending?

Favorite: Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins. This was a seriously tough one to decide on, but I think this one wins. I felt like it was such a stunning and perfect ending to the series, with so much action and twists still keeping you guessing right up until the last chapter. I didn't find this ending to be a cop out at all, and I was left in such a good place as a reader.

Runner Ups: There are several series endings that aren't on shelves yet, but I've already read them, and many of them are great. I didn't want to pick a not yet published book for the top one, so here's my other picks that were close and darn hard to really choose between:

• A Want so Wicked by Suzanne Young: Aching but amazing, this one is darker than the first book but really ties things up in a great way.
• Endlessly by Kiersten White: This one, like Spell Bound, left me in a good place as a reader, and led up to a stunning climax without taking any cheap shots on the way.
• Where She Went by Gayle Forman: I'm with Ginger a bout this one as a totally worthy runner up. This book sort of broke me, but it was the best kind of break you can feel.
• Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead: Though I was bothered when I first read this about a few plot lines that were left open in anticipation of the Bloodlines spin off, as far as Rose's story goes, I thought this tied it up so perfectly.

Least Favorite: Again, I'm with Ginger on Breaking Dawn. I felt like much of this installment was a cop out, and everything that had been built up in New Moon and especially Eclipse was for nothing.
