Disappointing ending

I gave 5 stars to each of the other books in the series, but this one does not deserve as many because of its ending. As time was running out, from when there were 1.5 hours left, I started fearing that the ending would not be satisfactory. And so it was. It's not exactly a cliffhanger, but almost. It sounds more like the end of a chapter or of a volume that's surely not the last. So I immediately checked the publication year. And, as I'd feared, it was too many years ago to allow for any hope of a continuation.
So... there it is. For a good ending, I would have forgiven all the rest that was not sitting right with me (such as the fact that everything is amped up, they all get extra powers and protections, everything seemed a bit too much etc.), but... with this ending... nope. I can more easily accept a non-HEA ending or a two-option ending, where the choice is left to the reader, but this is just like no ending at all, it's too abrupt. It doesn't make me regret having read the rest of the series twice, which is why I won't declare it an unforgivable ending. But it's a disappointing one, for sure!
