Anytime I read something is "fantastic" or "mind blown", I end up being disappointed, bc people have already "pre-blown" my mind and it can't be re-blown quite easily.

Fantastic ending. Ending a book as always hard and there was some info that I was left without but all things considered it was a near perfect ending.
Great book

Agreed on ending a book. It's what ruined the dark tower series by King for me, his ending was just bad and kind of a cop-out. I'll have to check out this book you're discussing in this thread.
 
I've always wrote the endings of my novels as the first thing. Yes, they might have seen minor tweaks after I wrote down the rest of the story. But it helps a lot to make sure the ending is well done and draws the story together. I suspect the author's that have poor endings, just go with the flow and rush it in the end with the deadlines of the publishers looming behind the corner.

As a reader I think there are times you can tell a story was written with the ending already finished. I generally love it.

Ya the dark tower is my favorite story of all time so the ending obviously didn't ruin the previous 4500ish pages but it's definitely a poor ending. I liked the last "battle" (especially the tie in to the book called insomnia) and I enjoyed the experience of Roland climbing up the tower and all the flashbacks and nostalgia but when he finally gets to the top and we find out that he just starts the journey over, albeit with a new item in his arsenal to change things this go round, I was pretty bummed out.

I have read all 7 dark tower books a handful of times (only read wind through the keyhole once though). I love the story and can't wait for the TV series and multiple movies that are supposedly upcoming and being done by the best there is at King adaptations.
