Top 5 Wednesday - Worst Series Enders
Top 5 Wednesday was created by Gingereadslainey on booktube and can also be found on goodreads. The link is located HERE. This week we are looking at worst series enders. Unfortunately, I have not finished a lot of the series I am reading so I am tweaking things just a bit.
WORST SERIES ENDERS:
A Bewitching Mystery series: Madelyn Alt - Although I enjoyed these books, I am including this because the last book never came. Seriously, it has had an anticipated release date for 3 years and counting. The next book even had a name and a cover. What happens to this series seems to have remained a mystery. That alone is enough for it to make my list. There are currently, and I guess forever, 7 books in this series.
Black Swan Rising Trilogy: Lee Carroll - I read all three of these books despite the fact they kept getting worse as they progressed. I was determined to finish the trilogy and I really don't know why. Anyway, I barely made it through the last book and by the time I did, I didn't care what happened.
Twilight Series: Stephanie Meyer - I know people love this series. And I will admit, I devoured it years ago and thought it was OK. To be honest, Bella constantly got on my nerves. I never could figure out when Jacob or Edward either one wanted her. I can find lots of fault with this book and remembering having a debate about Bella being a whiny, dependent brat. Sorry if I offended anyone, but I hated the way this book ended. Although my preferred ending would have led to a lot more deaths.
SERIES I AM AFRAID TO FINISH:
Sookie Stackhouse Series: Charlaine Harris - These books started off so great. But then there were so many of them. And as they went on, I feel they got worse. I have read all but the last 3 and while I am sure I will finish them someday, I almost no longer care about the characters anymore and am sure no matter what the ending is, I will be disappointed. Did I say this series went on, and on, and on? Thought so.
The Divergent Trilogy: Veronica Roth - Ok, so I haven't finished this. Even after my husband scoured the city for the box set for me for Christmas 2 years ago. I have managed to avoid spoilers, but have pretty much figured out something major happens - major as in, goodbye. And a part of me thinks I might be OK if that happens. And then I will be in the minority of people who loved the ending. Too much drama for me right now so I will quietly read it someday and then mark it off the to-do list.
So here is my list. Amazingly enough, the last 2 I mentioned are on my finishing goals for 2015. We will see. What made your list?

That would drive me nuts waiting over three years with no word on the series end or what was happening. Crazy stuff. There is an Indie series where I reviewed the first book back in July 2013 and gave it 5 stars. Loved it! I'm STILL waiting to hear if book two is coming out and when. There are meant to be 6 or 7 in the series but it's not looking good at the moment!
ReplyDeleteIt is rather frustrating and even though I enjoyed the series, if it came out now, I don't know if I would even bother reading it. I guess I have resolved the ending in my head and wouldn't want to change it.
DeleteI completely agree with you about Twilight. I'm surprised I got through the entire series- I truly couldn't stand Bella. ugh. I have yet to finish the Divergent trilogy as well, I only managed to finish the first one. And like you I have already been spoiled on the ending, so I'm not sure when I will get to completing it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, finishing the series was one of my goals this year. I am sure I will read Insurgent before it is released on DVD so at least I have some more time.
DeleteI love this list! I couldn't even finish Allegiant. One of the only books I never made it through. Honestly, I just felt like the book got to weird and convoluted to be interesting anymore, which was sad since I really enjoyed the first two. Also, I wouldn't recommend finish the Charlaine Harris series. Let yourself end on a high note!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the Sookie series. I know I will more than likely hate it, but there are a few characters I still care about so I bet I finish it someday - I am just not in any hurry. I am liking her new Midnight, Texas series so much better anyway.
DeleteI had such trouble finish Allegiant. I ended up listening to the audiobook instead but it definitely was not a book I enjoyed. I really didn't like Insurgent either, which was such a let down because I really enjoyed Divergent.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it makes it hard to finish it when I don't think I will like it. Thanks for visiting Jessica!
