Go talk to Morfowt. He's always liked the ending. I know Chimichangachupacab ra likes it, and may have always liked it. I'm not sure, though.

Ah well don't worry too much.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  It's not like you're the only one who expresses it. XD

*stern look*

No insanity allowed.

But seriously, if you feel like people are treating you unfairly because you don't like then end.  Hit me up.

Wha'?! No insanity allowed? *lost*

As another person-of-vehement-opinions, Nohensen, I respect you and your views. As a discussion board, RAF is the place to make those opinions known. If anyone hashes you over them, it's their problem and not yours. Even so, well done with this peace-making thread. I commend you. :)

Trying to administer against insanity on RAF is insanity.
Therefor it would be against that rule.

Which makes...

i hated the ending just because of the way she left it with such a cliff hanger, i hate those. i also felt robbed, cuz she had me hooked for 5 yrs, and then she threw together a sloppy ending just to be done with it. so ya, i guess i see her point, but that doesnt mean i will like it, nor ever read any of her other books again. i am done with her books :-\

but its always good to see im not the only 1 who hated the ending

LOL yea she mentioned starting a new book series(I think it's called Everworld) durring her little farewell letter in the last book(which was written better than the book itself LOL) but I really never planned on reading it nor do I still plan on doing so. I've never rlly been a fan of KA unless she was writing something Animorphs related

Actually, it was Remnants. When I came here, I was actually surprised at the number of people that liked the ending. I figured I'd find some, but not this many.

um, i was mostly sad that the series was ending. it was rather abrupt.
i didn't like the whole book, not just the ending itself. a cliffhanger was needed, i just don't think that was the right approach.

I hated the ending for my own selfish reasons, but I totally understand why she did it.

And I don't like her other series...es.... either.

KA had a message, and that message has become increasingly clear since I came here. In the end, she chose that message over her readers.

You know, just throwing this out there, maybe she hoped she didn't have to choose?  That her readers would get it?

All in all, I think she probably just thought too highly of her audience.  And it was a mistake, as shown by the decade-long moaning and groaning.

To be fair, even if you hated the ending you have to admit there wasn't really a better way of doing it. Besides, it is pretty damn difficult to write a so called "proper" ending to a series. A lot of them end up being dull (eg. happily ever after) or incredibly depressing (eg. everyone dies).

like ive said b4, if she wanted to show that war sucked, and everybody dies, fine. that woulda still left me upset, but i wouldnt hate it, cuz at least she wouldn't leave lose story lines. but to not only leave loose ends, but start a whole new story at the end, and then shamelessly tell every1 to go read her next series? that really pissed me off
