I just read a book called Fairydale where the main character essentially trades her life in order to close the rift between worlds and allow the fae realm to heal. The catch? She becomes immortal in order to do it, but is forever bound to the realm as its guardian. It was a really powerful story that was at once a total victory and a total loss for the protagonist. I’ve been reading a lot of fae stories with weird twists and turns to them, too. Most recently, I finished Fairy-Struck, which is about a human photographer who is sucked into a hidden fae court’s royal succession battle after she accidentally takes a picture of a true fae with her camera. It was a very political book, and the main conflict for the protagonist came from her having to navigate treacherous royal politics with no magic to her name – just her wits and the photo she took of the fae.

I ended Fairydale on a rollercoaster of emotions and revelations after hundreds of years of twisted love and curses being brought to an end by the protagonist finally finding a way to break the cycle of suffering and let go of her immortal life in order to cut ties with the male lead once and for all in a final and last showdown to end all of their suffering. The battle to save Fairydale from corruption was not just physical in nature, but a soul-driven struggle to restore the faerie magic that had been growing within the protagonist all along. The vengeful spirit of the male lead found peace in the ultimate act of selfless love and sacrifice on the part of the female lead, and he faded away finally at peace. And as for the female lead? She is left as the solitary guardian of Fairydale, forever changed by her experiences in the twisted world of old Fairydale. The Epilogue is left open to the reader’s imagination as to what new magic is being stirred up in the woods of old….

The ending of Fairydale was adorable and heart breaking all at once. It reveals that the main character’s ‘gift’ to see spirits was actually a part of the original fairy queen and that the male lead’s ‘curse’ was put on him by the main character in a past life as she was trying to cast a love spell that went wrong. Instead of having to fight the male lead in order to ‘defeat’ him, the main character is able to complete the spell correctly in order to let him go.
The final conversation with the male lead is heartbreakingly beautiful as it takes place by the crumbling fairy oak of Fairydale. He says ‘You were always the magic,’ before disappearing in a shower of fireflies and Fairydale evolves into a new, merged world of humans and spirit alike. The main character decides to stay in the new Fairydale as a sort of bridge between the two worlds and it doesn’t feel corny. If you cried during The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue then this will probably get to you in a similar way. It shows that love is more than possessing someone.

The ending of 'Fairydale' is layered and amazing. After the main character found out the truth about her past as a reincarnation, she found out that she wasn't just a victim of the medieval era's events but the main witch who caused the curse to the town. The male lead of the story wasn't the villain of the story either. He was actually the cursed lover of the main character from the medieval era. Their final confrontation wasn't about killing each other, but to break the time loop that had been trapping Fairydale for so long.
The story concludes with the protagonist performing a forbidden ritual under the blood moon, combining her fairy heritage with the specter energy of her cursed lover. The town is not miraculously ‘fixed’ but rather it is haunted once more, this time however there is a healthy balance of good and evil. Secondary characters also receive closure of a bittersweet nature. The protagonist’s best friend and constant source of comfort throughout the story becomes the new lorekeeper of Fairydale while the mean mayor is consumed by the darkness of the town that he so wrongly exploited. The last image that the reader is left with is that of the protagonist planting a silver birch sapling to symbolize new life and growth.
It’s all very unexpected and deep for a fairytale style story, really giving a sense of the weight of legacy and the depth of sacrifice for our protagonist. A beautiful and atmospheric story, fans of The Raven Cycle and Crescent City will enjoy the level of depth and maturity of this finale.

The Prophecy was a huge red herring for the entire story and actually NEVER applied to Darcy. It applied to Valerian all along. He is the ‘fairy-dale’ or the ‘fairy vessel’ of the prophecy and his vampire heritage was just a cover for the dormant fairy king that he is. The whole story of Darcy is to protect him and to be his moral compass, and in the end he becomes the king and Darcy is his joint monarch. The entire power dynamic of the series is flipped on its head for this interpretation and it makes so much sense for their entire relationship. It’s no longer just about Darcy being the chosen one and leading Valerian on some noble quest, it’s about a mutually supportive relationship between two equal characters.

Sabine’s defeat is so satisfying because she’s a master manipulator who is finally outsmarted by a problem she cannot talk or psychoanalyze her way out of. Greta does not engage Sabine in a battle of wits. Greta engages in a battle of survival, and in that kind of scenario, Sabine’s verbal chess playing is completely useless. The physicality of the end of Sabine is interesting in that it’s a critique of the very intellectualized, therapy-adjacent world that the book describes. Trauma and conflict are not always resolved through insights and breakthroughs in therapy. Sometimes, base, animalistic instincts take over, and people must fight or flee. Greta does both of these things – she fights Sabine, and then she flees with Flavia. The body has the last word in this very physical and primal ending to a novel that was largely comprised of transcribed therapy sessions.

While the fate of the kingdoms is decided in the final act, the focus is kept on the intimate relationship between Cat and Rixon. Their faces, their hands clasped together, their words of affection in the midst of the crisis are all close up to the viewer. Their final hurdle to overcoming their problems is an emotional one, and the story follows that while the magical crisis unfolds around them.
Fixing the core of the problem, that being the corrupted relationship at the center of the curse, somehow almost solves everything else in the world too. And it is a very character-driven solution. The Epilogue then gets to show how their healing has affected everyone around them, their friends and acquaintances, their community, even the very fabric of magic itself. It’s a great balance between their personal journey and the wider planetary implications of that journey.

It’s a very Dutch ending, in a way I mean that as a compliment. It’s very pragmatic and matter of fact and it’s very focused on the home and the daily rituals that you do with the people you care about most in order to try and and to make them happy. It’s not something that happens in a public square during a revolution. The revolution happens at home and then the rest of the movie is constructing happiness scene by scene, by the same people. It’s very unsentimental but in a way it’s very romantic. It’s just very practical and that’s what makes it so satisfying in the end. The grand gesture is the lack of a grand gesture. They just choose to stay and build a home together and that’s it.

A very unexpected ending that will please those who hunt for unexpected endings. The last battle is not about brute force but about mental games. The story’s protagonist uses his wives’ abilities in ways he or even they had never thought possible. The illusionist’s powers create illusions of his adversaries’ worst nightmares, for example.
It’s only after they have defeated their foes that Ruby, Garnet and Violet reveal the true extent of their plan. Rather than claiming the throne for themselves, they burn it to ashes, creating a new, more egalitarian society for vampires. A hybrid blood is created, and those who possess it are granted partial resistance to sunlight, perhaps even allowing for the possibility of human and vampire unity. The final shot is of the protagonists walking off into the light, in reverse to the first chapter’s composition, but full of hope.
How does Hardacre end?

It’s a downer, but someone’s got to tell these stories. In a culture fascinated by “hustle porn” and the strange cult of genius billionaires, the story of “Hardacre” offers a scathing rebuke to the cold cement recently upsized as the ideology of success we daily laud in the speeches at TED conferences, in the inspirational entrepreneurial stories repeatedly fed to us in the media. The real late nights at work are not just long; they are spent apart from children and spouses on anniversaries and other occasions of importance. The seemingly smart business decisions hardest to make end up awakening different levels of sadness and even pain, eroding the person who made them of their integrity. The story ends as it should, with the successful man at the very pinnacle of his success lying all alone in thin air, able to sustain nothing of real human worth. “Hardacre” is not just a story about one man; it’s a label warning us of the dangers of the current ideology of success.

The post-credits scene for this also needs to be mentioned. In the acknowledgements for the book, the author implies that the strange symbol at the end of the book is a map of the merged city that is portrayed in the novel. Fans have been trying to merge the maps from the earlier chapters of the novel to get a complete map of the city. In an interview, the author confirmed that the waitress in the final café has a line of “Back again?” because from her perspective in her native timeline, the protagonist has been going to the café every day for years. However, from the merged protagonist’s perspective, that is the first time that he or she has ever seen that composite version of the waitress. That is just so cool and breaks my brain in the best way.

No closure here. In fact, the story ends rather depressingly and open-endedly. But within all that sadness are some small positives, such as the strong friendship between Maya and Ana, Amat returning to the ice, performing and doing well in his own unique way. Benji, poor Benji, is in a terrible place, but even his awfulness contains a seed of hope as he is feeling pain, extreme, almost numbing, but he is not numb, he is still a human being and all of that. The ending goes out on the rather bleak note of "Tomorrow the game will be playing again" but even that is a positive in that it acknowledges that yes, the fight may not have been won but it is not being abandoned either, and in fact a new, quiet, phase of the fight is about to be entered. Sequels to this book will no doubt show how these seeds grow.
How does Shroud end? Spoilers explained

My favorite part of the conclusion of this story is the villainous resolution of Lord Valerius. For so long the story portrays the man as power hungry and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He is resurrecting his ancient kingdom, long lost to the heroes of legend. But in the end, the hero uses the Shroud to show Valerius what his kingdom could have been had he pursued it through peaceful means. A kingdom that would have easily integrated into the modern world. With tears in his eyes, Lord Valerius helps to stop the ritual, and in doing so, sacrifices himself to stabilize the energy released by the Shroud. He is not killed by the hero in a fierce battle, but rather dies a tragic, weeping, regretful man. It makes the heroes’ victory seem earned and not black and white. In fact, it makes the heroes triumph in that they were able to offer the man a way to make amends for his past acts of vengeance, a way that he could not refuse.

The story concludes with the living. There’s no resolution to Kala’s death; she’s gone and that’s it. Rather than finding some meaning in her passing, the focus is on how each of the living deal with the information that has been revealed to them. Joanne, Mush and Aiofe all make choices about how to move on from this. They could become bitter and withdrawn or they could hide from the truth. Or they could build, write, connect with others. And in the end it’s Joanne’s decision to build, to write and to connect with others that gives hope to the story. The mystery of death is solved but the real mystery of the book is how we live in death’s shadow. This is a very mature focus for a story and it raises so many questions.

To me, this ending was a relief. All that poor girl went through was so hard and so unrelenting and in the end the book can give her and us, the readers, a peaceful ending. Not necessarily a happy ending, but a merciful one. The wild, that threatened her so menacingly throughout the book, stopped tormenting her. It became neutral, and in this context even a form of grace. The wild stopped being something she had to fight. She was granted a cessation of her struggle. The last few pages of the book were a relief to me. They were like a deep sigh of relief. I closed the book feeling calm and peaceful, not torn apart by her heartache. It must be a mark of the author’s amazing control of her story, that she can convey such a bleak, hard journey and end it on a note of strange comfort for the reader.
