I don't worry too much about endings. In series especially, they're rarely the most satisfying part of the story. Usually they're adequate, and only rarely do they add something substantial to the story. Two of the biggest exceptions that leap to mind are Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy and Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. For me, intense scenes and images from the middle of a book tend to be more memorable than the endings. Also, the stories of what happened to individual characters and who they became or discovered themselves to be: those are memorable, but in modern stories they rarely end with a "happily ever after," so much as a "relatively safe and calm for now."
