I just finished the sixth (last?) in a series, Under the Final Moon, and was disappointed by the lack of editing (from a traditional publisher!) as well as by the last two chapters. The ending was uncharacteristically slapdash, and the resolution mechanism wasn't explained well at all. Further, the narrating character was suspicious of a strange new character, but one of the major existing characters would logically have been able to verify his claims.

The previous five books worked pretty well, but this just fell flat at the very point it should have stood tall. I almost wonder if this was planned as a cliffhanger and had to be changed late in the process.

Next up is an anthology, Unidentified Funny Objects 3. Humorous SF/fantasy, with a few illustrations. I've enjoyed the first two and have no reason to expect less from the third.
