Shadow Scale

I finished reading Shadow Scale. It's the second book, after Seraphina.
Most of the book was really good. Awesome buildup, good characters, and a pretty intense antagonist. Cool world too.
But the finale and the ending were... disappointing.


Spoilers.

The final buildup was mostly just waiting around, stuck in the castle. And for the big climax, I was really hoping that Seraphina unlocking her power would be the key to ending everything.
Well, It kiiind of was? But not really. Instead it was a giant person? Why? He just comes in and fixes everything? And he takes away that lady and we never hear from her again?
And the resolution didn't feel very refined. It felt like it could have been done a lot neater.

Sigh. I was even more disappointed than usual because the rest of the book, and the book before it, were so good!

Have any of you guys read it yet? What did you think?
