I’ll have to re-read that last chapter I guess. I never really cared for the epilogue anyway. It seemed like bad fan fiction compared to the rest of the series. For the most part the core part of the books aren’t that bad. I agree that it’s not really that deep though. It’s fiction for babies. I just get annoyed with the circlejerk of people piling on it 15 years after the fact. Almost as bad as the people who are still completely obsessed with it. Just let people live lol.
For sure, there's an unhealthy internet thing of just hating stuff, I hope it's obvious I'm not doing that. I actually think the books for younger kids are overall better and a lot of the worst stuff could have been avoided if she just stuck to writing fun mysteries for children. She was pretty good at snarky irreverent kid stuff.
The biggest fans in my life hate the epilogue too, so you're in good company there.
All good comrade. We’re on the same page now for sure.
