I confess I liked the ending. I think there's room for a spin-off series. But I also thought that it was similar to life chapters, we caught a glimpse in these characters lives and then we're left to imagine the rest of their journey. I can see both sides, but I felt the ending romantic - more imaginative - than I had anticipated. And of course I LOVED the covers of these novels - just gorgeous.
If you read, what did you think of series ending?
I, too, loved the ending! While we all, of course, would have loved to see a certain twosome end up together and see a certain someone else fall a little lower, I don't think that perfect ending would have been true to the characters.
ReplyDeleteI think if Diana and Henry had stayed together in New York and been all "respectable" and such, my happiness over a satifying love story would have been completely overwhelmed by my dissapointment. It would have made Diana just like everyone else. I can see why everyone's upset, kind of, but I love the way things ended.
