I'm with you, the ending of the 3rd book deflated me and actually lowered my opinions on the first 2 books. I'm curious whether the follow-up books do anything to fix it, but I can't find the motivation to read them now.
They don't fix it but they're good. Really enjoyed Best Served Cold.
TBF I actually meant the ending of the first book. I haven't gone back to the series to finish it. I expected bloody nine content starting book two and it wasn't.
Logen is in all 3 books of the trilogy, and plays prominent roles in all of them. It's just a matter of the constantly shifting perspectives.
I lied, I finished the trilogy.
Logan jumps out the window in the end and I'm like "fuck. Thats it?" And then it's all kids and idk if I want to continue.
SPOILERS FOR BOOK 3 HERE:
Yeah... I'm stuck on the idea of continuing, but the end of book 3 basically feels like instead of the world being a place that is mutable and changeable, it's instead a deconstruction of the concept of heroism and would rather say that people are themselves, that they can't be changed, and that the wizard has everyone dancing in his palm.
My friends say it continues to be good... But I got really attached to Logen and, surprisingly, Glokta. He might be my favorite character of the books so far and I kinda assume they are both gone? Makes it hard to want to keep going.
