I have up halfway through the last book in a trilogy once. It took me that long to realize that it was not going to be any better. Usually I need 70-100 pages for my opinion of the book to be accurate. But I am talking about readable books here.
"it was not going to be any better" -- you are clearly overthinking this, a lot.

If you enjoyed it enough to get halfway through the last book in the series, it doesn't need to get "better".



Now, I will make an exception for Eragon.
The series got dramatically worse in the last two books though, so it isn't quite the same.
Not every author is that talented at last-minute failure.
