I usually prefer a somewhat tidy ending, especially with stand alone books. However, with series, a cliffhanger can be exciting.

Depends on how the book set up the plot. Sometimes a tidy ending is perfect, sometimes it’s trite; sometimes a cliffhanger is exhilarating, sometimes it’s enraging (I’m looking at you, George R.R. Martin?)

Well if it’s a really really good book I hate all endings cause some books I just want to be eternal… other books tidy ends, I don’t mind a cliffhanger unless it’s one at the end of a series …. you know what I mean… the itch you can never scratch or the false hope that there will be more… no one likes their heart toyed with like that ?

Cliffhangers are good for series of books but I do want the last part to clean up the ending or else it will leave my frustrated haha. Sometimes a good cliffhanger works amazingly well.

I like cliffhangers in a series knowing I have the next book? if not, I’m not happy. I do enjoy a jaw-dropping cliffhanger especially when you don’t expect it. ?
