Has anyone seen Fantastic Beasts!? I can't wait, it looks great!

Fantastic Beasts Cast + J.K Rowling

I love that you liked the ending! I also completely agree that Elspeth cared about her animal friends above everyone else. It's great to hear other people's thoughts on this series!

How do you feel about the ending? I keep going back and forth on it. Part of me loves its seemingly clean simplicity, while part of me rails against that very same cleanness and simplicity for being so drastically different to every other aspect of the entire series. But then I think that the very difference is what may make it so nice. But THEN...you get the point.

I do get your point. Look, I am a huge Isobelle fan and this book had so many expectations put on it, it would have been impossible for her to live up to them all. But, that ending …. missed the point of the series. It was rushed and I don’t believe it was Isobelle’s original intention. I feel like the series was about Elspeth fighting for difference to be embraced, and accepting her own unique qualities. The ending then sequestered her away again, severing the ties she had built over the entire series, almost like we were back at book 1. I personally did not want a fairy tale ending but this ending fell short logically.

Elspeth and Gahltha - The Red Queen

Brown eyes surveyed me from a craggy, tan face. His hair was brown too, and worn longer than lowland fashion dictated. He was about Rushton’s age and wore the unmistakable garb of a Druid armsman.

A tall youth with white-blond hair and a great flapping black cloak came out on deck and leaned against the rail, staring back at the shore.

Malik was the same solidly muscled, grey-eyed, grey-haired man as he had been the last time I had seen him in Sador, but he wore his arrogance with a vicious new edge...
