I can't decide if I'm mad about the ending or not. I'll stay vague to avoid spoilers, but... I was really afraid of a certain twist taking a direction I REALLY didn't want it to take. And then it did, and I can kind of see why it was necessary for plot reasons, but also DO WE REALLY HAVE TO PUT THE CHARACTERS THROUGH THAT KIND OF TRAUMA JUST FOR "PLOT REASONS"??? I just don't know what to do with all that...

 Up to that point, pretty much the standard adventure and character development and entertaining use of words I anticipated from this series. Also Sarah Cobbler rocks.
