Was this the ending I was expecting, No. Was it the ending I wanted, No. Did it have some logical inconsistencies in the story, a few minor ones. Was it a bit rushed in the last arcs, yes. However the ending does fit the tones and themes for the story and its characters. This was never going to end in a happily ever after or have any idealistic outcome by any stretch of the imagination.

This was always about a bunch of flawed sinners that did some horrendous stuff to protect those closest to them from other horrendous actions and outcomes. You can only hold onto ... and protect so much, sometimes you have to choose what to let go of, including your morals. This was the case with almost EVERY single character in the series; they did the best they could, but had to choose at times to protect their loved ones over strangers even if it meant becoming a monster. I think when put in an impossible situation like these most people can understand that to a degree.

Even with its flaws this final was amazing and left me overflowing with many deep emotions. They are mostly the negative kind like depression, sadness, anger, anxiety and an overall air of gloominess. These emotions are probably going to hang over me every time I think about this series in the future, as they are that deeply ingrained. That's not a bad thing though, a final that can make you feel a strong emotional impact and think this much is always a good one, even if it doesn’t turn out like you wanted.

It was a hell of a ride and I’m glad I took it.

10/10 - Started at the tree, ended at the tree.
