First of all, I will start by saying that I am extremely tolerant when it comes to this series. While others got disappointed by previous volumes or were upset by developments, I just rolled with it and still had fun with them. But, this book is a travesty and should never have been published. Not only is it a waste of time and space, with continuity errors, many blank pages and pages comprising of just decoration or only a few sentences (or less), and downright depressing made-up ends for a majority of the characters, but it doesn't even feel as though the author was taking it seriously. It feels as though the publishers wanted to do a grab for more money with one more book, so she just shrugged and tried to throw something together for each character and what happened to them after the series. Whether this is the truth of how the book happened or not, it should never feel as though the author doesn't even care what they're writing. All of the books in this series are on my keeper shelf, but this one I'll be getting rid of ASAP. It just isn't worth it. At all. If you feel you must read it, please do yourself a favor and get it from a library or borrow it from someone. You'll thank me later. Besides, with how little content there is here, even the slowest of readers will be done with it in no time, so you really could just sit down with it and not even bother taking it home.
