And, I have to say, I'm not surprised at the ending. I was for a little bit, but then... not so much. I mean, nothing much happened in the ending, but what could have happened? A very happy ending would have rung false, and an unhappy ending would have been too much. This fading away, it's vaguely unsatisfying, so it seems right in a way a more definitive ending wouldn't've.
And that's my incredibly brief review of the end of The End.
(The sequence about being "in the dark", by the way, is worth the cost of the book in and of itself.)
And it's almost November, which means it's almost time for that new Hilari Bell book nobody's ever read the series of to come out!

For a series, which is a better book that I prefer anyway, I'd start off with the first book in her only (at the moment) series - Fall of a Kingdom.
