Just finished volume 5 of the Children of the Promise series and I have to say that the afterword made me very sad. I enjoyed the book and did feel some closure for the series, but there were lots of loose ends! It's just about as open ended as every other book in the series except he's not going to write anymore. I, personally, would be happy if this was a much longer series but I do tend to obsess. That is my major complaint, though, that he would leave so many loose ends and then declare that he was tired of writing these books (how dare a writer get tired :-) and that if he revisited the Thomases it would be in another era. But I want to know what happens to LaRue at college next year! So, buyer beware when you start reading these books. He keeps you wanting more.
