Not the best ending. Ambiguous, sudden, and kind of disheartening. There’s a big reveal at the very end with one of the main characters which takes something gross and turns it into something even more funky. Not of fan of the twist.... only takes 40 minutes to read each book or 3 hours or so for the whole series.
