Reactions to Fyre

My Rating: 3/5
Goodreads: 4.24

So my childhood is officially at an end. The three series I read over and over and over while growing up, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and Septimus Heap have all come to an end. I'm going to wait for a while to decide which end I liked the best (to get my initial reactions out of the way) but I think Fyre stood up to the others decently well.
The one complain I have about Fyre is that the ending was a bit too happy and neatly tied up. Yes, this can be a very good thing, but I've found that a little bittersweetness can go a long way in the ending of the book. In my opinion, the climax of Darke was really the most epic climax of the series, and Fyre acted more as the denouement to that climax. It also bothered me (slight spoiler here) that Septimus wasn't the one to save the day, since it is his series and all. In fact, I feel like Septimus probably shone the least in this book out of all of them. I'm hoping he gets more action in the next series because he really is a spectacular character. Besides all that, the book was very satisfying. I felt like it showed very well how the characters have grown up and how the Castle has been changed with them. There were several scenes that wrapped up the emotional bits of the series that really just needed to be shown (especially all the Heaps getting together).
Overall, this book makes a wonderful end to a fascinating series, and I feel like I will only continue to appreciate it more as I reread it.
