I think that we can say now that this was it. No more vampire diaries episodes. No more vampire diaries books. This was the very last book of the very last trilogy and yes, if they really want to they can write a new trilogy, but the book didn't feel like it was planned to leave that option open. It felt like it was written to end the series for once and for all.
It's weird to rate this book. The fact that all it took were a few hours to read the entire book says something about the writing style and that the story kept me on the edge of my seat. It was nice to have a flashback to how this story started, with some nice nods in there and with enough changes to keep it interesting. It was nice to go back to the characters I fell in love with, all those years ago, and to see how different their lives could have been if only Damon and Stefan had not been a huge part of their lives.
I'm not a huge fan of hard resets. I'm not a huge fan of undoing your entire story. I don't want people to wake up and realize it was a dream. I don't want people to walk through some gate and get back at the beginning, but somehow this didn't feel that wrong, not as wrong as I feared it would be. For some reason I felt like the characters deserved this. For me they could have left out the last page, but all in all, I'm less disappointed than I thought I would be.
I'll miss you guys. I'll miss you all. Long live rewatches and rereads.
