This was fine. There were only two ways this series could end, and I honestly never anticipated the second way. But I think that's more indicative of where I placed this series in my mind. I didn't expect this ending because I thought this was going to be strictly by-the-numbers and obvious. In the end, I don't regret reading this, but I just question the purpose behind this series. Did Meredith Finch really have a story she wanted to tell, or was Marvel really insistent that they have another Conan book on the shelves?
