I think I can agree with most other reviews with the following summary:
1 - I'm glad this is EVENTUALLY over.
2 - After how long this has been dragged out, the ending was not as satisfying as it should have been.
3 - Lionel's death was massively underwhelming.
4 - Book 8 should just basically not exist.
5 - The books and series overall is just too long (and again dragged out unnecessarily).
6 - I'm really disappointed how much the series went downhill after book 7.
I listened to books 8 and 9 on audio (I honestly don't think I would have finished them if I hadn't) and I have to say how amazing the narrators (Bridget and Jake Bordeaux) are. To have a different voice for all of the many POVs in these books was amazing, although Geraldine's was a bit much at times.
