The books themselves were great, great story, good characters etc. The only thing the REALLY annoyed me was the ending of the last book. It was very unsatisfying. It was like the writer thought: "Well, almost finished, let's speed it up (a LOT), and then I can go to (fill in a popular destination for the rich and famous) to relax and be arrogant." Sorry, probably overdid that last part, but its just so... Stupid...
