Top 5 Wednesday is a goodreads group that responds to weekly prompts about books. I was busy last week and missed the post. This week’s topic is best/favorite endings.
What makes a good ending? An ending that makes a statement on society or leaves ambiguity can be right for some stories. In general, I prefer the happy ending with everything tied up. That is true of all of my picks.
#1
A lot of times I just list five books and don’t rank them specifically. But, I had to this week, because Clockwork Princess is firmly in the number one spot. This was only book that came to mind when I saw the prompt. This was the most satisfying ending to a trilogy I’ve read.

I’m glad the series is continuing, but when I finished Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, I thought it would be the perfect ending to the series.
#3
Silent on the Moor isn’t the last book in the Lady Julia Grey series, but it does have the best ending.
#4
My Not So Perfect Life is a fun story where the main character changes her life and all the “bad” people get what they deserve.
#5
While The Firebird is part of The Slains series, any of them could be read as a standalone. Kearsley’s books always have good endings, but this is my favorite.
