Saturday @ Starbucks ~ Best/Worst #2: Series Endings

Saturday @ Starbucks is a periodic feature hosted by Starbucks & Books Obsession.


This week's Best/Worst topic is: 
Series Endings

What I'm Drinking:
Starbucks Caramel Brulee Latte

So a few weeks ago, I read Sentinel, the final book in the Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout and I was BLOWN away by the ending to that book and the series as a whole. This got me thinking about other series I've read and how I felt when the author ended it all. Here are my Best/Worst series endings. 

BEST: Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Oh. My. God. I have loved this series since I read the first chapter of Half Blood and I was so nervous to read Sentinel and have it all end. This book could have gone so many ways and I could not have been happier with the way JLA ended it. I was a sobbing mess through the last 10% of the book but I've NEVER felt more satisfied at the end of a series.

Honorable Mentions: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, Guardian Trilogy by Laury Falter

WORST: Delirium Series by Lauren Oliver

Honestly, I wasn't that big of a fan of this series in general but I have never disliked the ending to a series more than this book. When I got to the end, I actually thought my kindle was broken and I was missing a few pages. I know there are some people who liked the ending and that's okay. It just didn't work for me. I think my exact expression (out loud) was "Huh?"

Honorable Mentions: Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Wolves of Mercy Falls by Maggie Stiefvater
