Hooray! A place to talk about DT! I have the same problem, pazuzu, well, kind of. My problem is that nobody else I know has read any of the books, let alone all seven, but anyway...
I was somewhat dissappointed with the ending as well... you mentioned a "revised" 1st book? I didn't know it had been revised at all, the only one I've ever read was the original one I bought around 10 years ago or so. Is that the only part that was changed?
You only had a problem letting go of Susannah? haha I had issues with all of them, after so long and so much that had happened, it wasn't fun seeing any of them leave (even Oy!) I think he had to let her go, he was the only one supposed to go all the way, and better for her to leave alive than dead somehow, like everyone else.
I was just disappointed with the ending in general... I didn't think it was horrible, but just not "enough", I guess. The King seemed too easy to get rid of, after all the focus on how powerful and such he was, then in the last book he's just some crazy old man that they get rid of without hardly trying. Plus, the looping factor... I want to know more... Like, how many times has he gone through it? Did he make it next time? Will he EVER make it?? I just feel kind of unsatisfied.. I just can't believe it's over! haha
Well, enough of my ramblings, hopefully more people will share some thoughts on the books.
