Awesome.

I finished The Amber Spyglass, which completes the His Dark Materials series. The series as a whole was amazing, though I was a little disappointed with the last bit of the last book. It seemed like after all they had been through that the ending was a bit anticlimactic… but maybe that’s because I already had an idea of what would happen.

I still really enjoyed the story and the characters and the creativity. There were points in the last book where I was practically in tears, others where I was on edge wondering what would happen, and finally a bit disappointed because even though the characters were experiencing a lot of emotion, I wasn’t really "feeling it."

There were a couple things I do wish I had written down while I was reading, but I can’t find them now trying to look back through. Darn it, I should have known better than to think I could go back, but it’s hard to stop reading when the story is so awesome!

Moving forward, I’ve decided to read some stuff I have at the condo instead of getting books out of the library when I bring these last two back. I think I’ll start with something I’ve already read (years ago) - Summer Sisters by Judy Blume - because it will be a fun, easy read for me while I’m in RI camping and hopefully going to the beach this weekend.
