If it's the last book, of course it has to resolve the important plot points. What about if it comes before that? I just finished the second book in a YA series I like, and it ends basically mid-scene right in the middle of the climax. I think that's a bad ending. I get the marketing aspect of it--if the third book was already out I would want to buy it to continue to story. But, as a reader, it is unsatisfying and also disrespectful.
That's my feeling, anyway. How do the rest of you feel about authors ending a book the middle of a series in this way?
