some people liked it, and some people didn't Others grew to like it more over time. It was dark, and some people praise it and defend it because it would be silly for the ending to be all happy happy joy joy. Forgetting the fact that there is an area between And The All Lived Happily Ever After, [spoiler]and a bolivian army ending where most of them likely wind up dead. Sure you could say maybe they survived, but I don't really see how. Who was going to rescue them? Elfangor lived through the same stunt because there was a dome Ship right there.[/spolier]
I've already ranted enough about the ending, so I'll just say there was very little I actually liked about it.
