I think that I've found the word that I'm going to use (and I'm taking the style of defining it from the wonderful "Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows":
Apaseriesia
adj. feeling a sense of mild disappointment upon finishing an otherwise good series of novels, sensing that while the story was brought to a satisfactory conclusion, with the characters in a place that makes sense, the efforts that the author went through to get the characters to this place and to tie up the loose ends of the series forced certain elements of the series to be lost or temporarily misplaced or for certain characters to take on a limited role, thus depriving the reader of the sense of joy that propelled them through the previous books in the series.
