¿Question #219522?
PolarDad: Is the end more important than beginning?

pricero1: Very few movies have satisfying ends.
Fribian: No it's how you traverse the story.
TomTi89: I won't namedrop the series as this would be spoilers, but I spent a long time reading a certain series. From the start there was an end destination for the main character[s]. So we get to the end of the final book, and it's the destination we've been heading for this whole time! But the book ends right there, without actually going inside the destination. Wha...? Then, the author speaks directly [paraphrasing]: "Yeah man, this series was written for people who enjoy the journey rather than the destination. You can read the second ending but you won't like it." So of course I read the second ending and wow, I can't get over it to this day.

MABBY: Nope. You can't have an end without a beginning.
