I don´t know all the books, but from the ones I have read, it rarely ends on the real cliffhanger, rather they solve one plot pretty fast in the last chapters, and then add up a story on another layer (ultimate example of that was Blades where the story asked for a cliffhanger with the Dreadlord it was solved in like half of a long chapter, and than another danger appeared). The only book that I´ve read that managed cliffhangers well was BB.

But maybe this time it would be different. Definitely a lot of loose ends, and a lot of potential. But also it has a lot of goofs of not enough attention to details (on contrary to Blades), like weak plot with the Admiral being able to actually lure Poseidon Revenge to come that close, or the thing with suddenly Oliver ship being so close that they could have saved Ginny, or my favourite is that inspite being held prisoner and jumped from Admiral ship, we are still in the posession of Robert sword, so not sure if they would manage to solve them (like in NB). But it would be a pity as the story has potential and amazing animations (that I belive are much more advanced than it other books). So keeping finger crossed.

Especially for those romancing Oliver, as I belive he is the winner of the shortest interacton with an LI in a book ever. And on twitter people have been asking for his presence a lot.
