AAC. I hated the ending.

[Dan]

I wasn't particularly excited about the ending. In fact I was pissed at first, but have come to accept it now.

[divemaster]

I went with B A A. I thought the ending itself was inspired and fantasitc, but I was not a fan of the whole Mordred, Dandelo, and eraser boy thing either. But the actual ending of the series? Perfection.

[Garrell]

aaa Great ending, 2nd best book in series to me

AAC. I hated the ending.

I'm with you, Jerome. Hated the ending for years!!! However, over time I have come to terms with it. Ain't worth the spike in BP, know what I mean? I do know where the "Lost" guys got their inspiration for a "Now you see it, now you don't" ending though!!! LOL

Ka is a wheel. anything else would have contradicted it

Now that's circular argument!

[DoctorDodge]

BAA. Some parts of the plot I didn't agree with, and pretty major ones, too, but most of it, I enjoyed. Also liked how the character's journeys were resolved, and you know my thoughts on the ending. Only Life on Mars (and possibly Blake's 7) beat it as my favourite ending ever, and that's saying something.

AAC. I hated the ending.

Mah man !

AAC for me as well.

[The Road Virus]

AAA loved every second of the book and thought the ending was genius and befitting of the story. One of the ones I can't wait to read again.
